Closest approach of Asteroid 2 Pallas to Earth

Between January 2013 and December 2100 the closest approach of Asteroid 2 Pallas to Earth happens on Mon Feb 24 2014 at a distance of 1.23090467 Astronomical Units, or 184,140,718 kilometers:

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

Asteroid 2 Pallas brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 2 Pallas is 10.10.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 2 Pallas, 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 2 Pallas rise and set times

Today's Asteroid 2 Pallas 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 2 Pallas touches the horizon, consideting the effect of the atmospheric refraction. As the atmoshpere conditions cannot be modeled precisely the times reported here should be considered correct with an approximation of few minutes.

Visualization of Asteroid 2 Pallas Orbit

This 3d orbit diagram is a feature of our 3D Solar System Simulator and shows the orbit of Asteroid 2 Pallas with respect of the Sun and the orbits of the major planets. The position of Asteroid 2 Pallas 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!
