Near Earth Objects (NEO): Earth's Upcoming Close Approaches with Asteroids

NEOs (Near Earth Objects) are a category of Asteroids whose orbit is very close to intersect Earth's orbit. These objects are tracked carefully by astronomers because of potential risk of impact.

The table below is updated multiple times per day and lists all the known upcoming close approaches between the Earth and NEO asteroids that are will be closer than 10 Lunar Distances and will happen in the next 180 days.

Color coding: close approach distance is less than 1 Lunar Distances; close approach distance is less than 0.5 Lunar Distances;

Asteroid Name	Date and Time of Closest Approach (UT)	Close Approach Distance			Approach Relative Speed km/s
