Asteroid 14 Irene Distance from Earth

The distance of Asteroid 14 Irene from Earth is currently 482,964,605 kilometers, equivalent to 3.228419 Astronomical Units. Light takes 26 minutes and 50.9965 seconds to travel from Asteroid 14 Irene and arrive to us.

The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 14 Irene 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 14 Irene from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.

Closest approach of Asteroid 14 Irene to Earth

Between January 2013 and December 2100 the closest approach of Asteroid 14 Irene to Earth happens on Fri Apr 2 2088 at a distance of 1.17527603 Astronomical Units, or 175,818,791 kilometers:

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

Asteroid 14 Irene brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 14 Irene is 11.98.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 14 Irene, 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 14 Irene rise and set times

Today's Asteroid 14 Irene 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 14 Irene 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.

Visualization of Asteroid 14 Irene Orbit

This 3d orbit diagram is a feature of our 3D Solar System Simulator and shows the orbit of Asteroid 14 Irene with respect of the Sun and the orbits of the major planets. The position of Asteroid 14 Irene and the planets along their orbits in this diagram accurately represents the current configuration of the objects in the Solar System. This is an experimental feature and it requires a WebGL enabled browser. Please provide us feedback!
