This is a list of asteroids that have impacted Earth after discovery and orbit calculation that predicted the impact in advance. As of December 2024 [update] , all of the asteroids with predicted impacts were under 5 m (16 ft) in size that were discovered just hours before impact, and burned up in the atmosphere as meteors .
It shows the effectiveness of asteroid warning systems at detecting close approaches in 2020. The sizes of the charts show the relative sizes of the asteroids to scale. For comparison, the approximate size of a person is also shown. This is based the absolute magnitude of each asteroid, an approximate measure of size based on brightness.
The Caribbean Astronomy Society (SAC) said the "impressive" asteroid was visible across the entire Caribbean region at 7:05 p.m. local time Saturday. After hitting Earth's atmosphere, the space ...
Among the numbered minor planets with an unambiguous period solution are (459872) 2014 EK 24, a 60-meter sized stony NEO with a period of 352 seconds, as well as (335433) 2005 UW 163 and (60716) 2000 GD 65, two main-belt asteroids, with a diameter of 0.86 and 2.25 kilometers and a period of 1.29 and 1.95 hours, respectively (see full list).

[note 1] The largest asteroid on this list that is risk–listed is 2023 SM 5 at about 17 meters in diameter with a 3.5-day observation arc and a 1: 91 000 chance of Earth impact on 24 September 2118. [7] The CNEOS database of close approaches lists some close approaches a full orbit or more before the discovery of the object, derived by orbit ...
