Asteroid 2009 JF1 Distance from Earth

The distance of Asteroid 2009 JF1 from Earth is currently 353,424,895 kilometers, equivalent to 2.362500 Astronomical Units. Light takes 19 minutes and 38.8986 seconds to travel from Asteroid 2009 JF1 and arrive to us.

The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 2009 JF1 from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.

The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of 2009 JF1 from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.

Closest approach of Asteroid 2009 JF1 to Earth

Between January 2014 and January 2100, the closest approach of Asteroid 2009 JF1 to Earth happens on Tue Dec 2 2092 at a distance of 0.068547 Astronomical Units, or 10,254,486 kilometers:

NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.

Asteroid 2009 JF1 brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 2009 JF1 is 32.09.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 2009 JF1, according to the most recent ephemerides data. Magnitude data is sampled with a 2 days interval and there might be inaccuracies for objects changing brightness very rapidly during the course of a few days. For comets there could be large discrepancies between the observed and predicted brightness because of their highly dynamic behaviour.

Asteroid 2009 JF1 rise and set times

Today's Asteroid 2009 JF1 rise, transit and set times from Greenwich, United Kingdom [change] are the following (all times relative to the local timezone Europe/London):

The rise and set times are defined as the time at which the upper limb of Asteroid 2009 JF1 touches the horizon, considering the effect of the atmospheric refraction. As the atmospheric conditions cannot be modeled precisely the times reported here should be considered correct with an approximation of few minutes.
