Between 1 January 2013 and 30 December 2100, the closest approach of Asteroid 2015 TB145 to Earth happens on Sun Nov 1 2015 at a distance of 0.006724 Astronomical Units, or 1,005,856 kilometers:
NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.
Asteroid 2015 TB145 Brightness and Light Curve
The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 2015 TB145, 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.
