The distance of Asteroid 2015 TB145 from Earth is currently 658,617,321 kilometers, equivalent to 4.402585 Astronomical Units. Light takes 36 minutes and 36.9109 seconds to travel from Asteroid 2015 TB145 and arrive to us.
The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 2015 TB145 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 2015 TB145 from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.
Closest approach of Asteroid 2015 TB145 to Earth
Between January 2013 and December 2100 the closest approach of Asteroid 2015 TB145 to Earth happens on Sun Nov 1 2015 at a distance of 0.00672378 Astronomical Units, or 1,005,864 kilometers:
NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.
Asteroid 2015 TB145 brightness
The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 2015 TB145 is 26.67.
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.
