Trajectory of 2004 FH in the Earth–Moon system Goldstone radar images of asteroid 2007 PA 8 's Earth flyby in 2012. This is a list of examples where an asteroid or meteoroid travels close to the Earth. Some are regarded as potentially hazardous objects if they are estimated to be large enough to cause regional devastation.
Small asteroid was spotted just 12 hours before it struck
2013 FW 13 is a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) since its minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) is less than 0.05 AU and its diameter is estimated to be greater than ~150 meters. The Earth MOID is 0.013 AU (1,900,000 km ; 1,200,000 mi ). [ 2 ]
2013 YP 139 was first observed on 29 December 2013, at a distance of 0.235 astronomical units (35,200,000 kilometres; 21,800,000 miles) from Earth, marking the first object detected since the program's reinstatement. The infrared brightness was the primary attribute used for ascertaining the approximate size of the asteroid.
2013 ET is a near-Earth asteroid that was first observed on March 3, 2013, [4] six days before its closest approach to Earth. It is estimated to be around 100 meters (330 feet) wide. [3] [5] The orbit of 2001 SY 169 has been connected to 2013 ET extending the observation arc to 11 years.
