The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV 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.

Closest approach of Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV to Earth

During the next 10 years, the closest approach of Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV to Earth happens on Sun Nov 14 2027 at a distance of 0.011299 Astronomical Units, or 1,690,259 kilometers:

Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV is 26.90.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV, 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 (NEO) 2019 WV rise and set times

Today's Asteroid (NEO) 2019 WV 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 (NEO) 2019 WV 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.
