Closest Approach
During the next 10 years, the closest approach of Asteroid (NEO) 2022 UP6 to Earth happens on Thu Oct 15 2026 at a distance of 0.006718 Astronomical Units, or 1,004,947 kilometers:
Light Curve
The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid (NEO) 2022 UP6, 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.
