Asteroid 2014 FE72 Distance from Earth
The distance of Asteroid 2014 FE72 from Earth is currently 9,745,711,390 kilometers, equivalent to 65.146057 Astronomical Units. Light takes 9 hours, 1 minutes and 48.1940 seconds to travel from Asteroid 2014 FE72 and arrive to us.
The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 2014 FE72 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 2014 FE72 from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.
Closest Approach of Asteroid 2014 FE72 to Earth
Between 1 January 2013 and 30 December 2100, the closest approach of Asteroid 2014 FE72 to Earth happens on Thu Mar 21 2013 at a distance of 57.916781 Astronomical Units, or 8,664,227,064 kilometers:
NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.
Asteroid 2014 FE72 Brightness
The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 2014 FE72 is 24.42.
The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 2014 FE72, 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.
