The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 2016 HO3 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 2016 HO3 from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.

Closest Approach of Asteroid 2016 HO3 to Earth

Between 1 January 2013 and 30 December 2100, the closest approach of Asteroid 2016 HO3 to Earth happens on Sat Nov 9 2030 at a distance of 0.107288 Astronomical Units, or 16,050,030 kilometers:

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

Asteroid 2016 HO3 Brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 2016 HO3 is 22.47.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 2016 HO3, 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.
