Closest approach of Asteroid 17 Thetis to Earth

Between January 2013 and December 2100 the closest approach of Asteroid 17 Thetis to Earth happens on Sun Jun 10 2035 at a distance of 1.13909773 Astronomical Units, or 170,406,596 kilometers:

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

Asteroid 17 Thetis brightness

The current visual magnitude of Asteroid 17 Thetis is 12.53.

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 17 Thetis, 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 17 Thetis rise and set times

Today's Asteroid 17 Thetis 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 17 Thetis 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 17 Thetis Orbit

This 3d orbit diagram is a feature of our 3D Solar System Simulator and shows the orbit of Asteroid 17 Thetis with respect of the Sun and the orbits of the major planets. The position of Asteroid 17 Thetis 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!
