An example list of near-Earth asteroids that passed more than 1 lunar distance (384,400 km or 0.00256 AU) from Earth in 2008. 2007 TU 24 (~250 meters in diameter) passed 1.44 LD (554,000 km) from Earth on January 29, 2008. 2008 CE 22 (~18 meters in diameter) passed between 0.9997 and 1.0023 LD (384,300 to 385,300 km) from Earth on February 6, 2008.
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.
2008 TC 3 (Catalina Sky Survey temporary designation 8TA9D69) was an 80-tonne (80-long-ton; 90-short-ton), 4.1-meter (13 ft) diameter asteroid [2] that entered Earth's atmosphere on October 7, 2008. [3] It exploded at an estimated 37 kilometers (23 mi) above the Nubian Desert in Sudan.
A series of low-resolution radar images of asteroid 2007 TU24. Goldstone Observatory carried out radar observations on January 23 and 24 January 2008. As of then, the orbit of the asteroid was known with such a high precision that scientists were able to calculate close approaches from the year 67 AD to 2141 AD. [8]
On Sunday, another asteroid about half the size of 2008 OS7 will pass within 4.5 million miles of Earth. The closest recorded asteroid flyby happened in August of 2020, when a space rock roughly ...
Discovered in 2008, the asteroid is designated as 2008 OS7. ... There’s no chance of it hitting us since it will pass seven times the distance from Earth to the moon. Discovered in 2008, the ...
2008 EV 5 started its existence as part of a much larger body in the asteroid belt, with a likely diameter greater than 100 kilometers. [13] 2008 EV 5 's immediate history likely started when its parent body experienced a large cratering event or, more likely, a catastrophic disruption event that resulted in a highly fractured, shattered, or reaccumulated object (rubble pile).
A list of known near-Earth asteroid close approaches less than 1 lunar distance (384,400 km or 0.00257 AU) from Earth in 2000–2007. [note 1] Rows highlighted red indicate objects which were not discovered until after closest approach Rows highlighted yellow indicate objects discovered less than 24 hours before closest approach
