The list starts on the day our collector read it, so a pass earlier that day can already be over when you read this; each pass has its own time.

The nearest passes

The highest absolute magnitude H in the list is 29.83, for 2025 UK9. The last pass in the list is on 4 December 2026.

What the numbers mean

A lunar distance is the Moon's average distance from Earth, 384,400 km here. Our collector converts JPL's distances, which are in astronomical units (au), to kilometres and to lunar distances; the unit is our choice, not JPL's. A distance under 1 means closer than the Moon's average distance.
Times are converted by our collector from JPL's time scale (TDB) to UTC. The time uncertainty is the one JPL gives for each pass.
H is the object's absolute magnitude as JPL lists it, a measure of brightness. This page does not print sizes; our asteroid guide explains how a size can be estimated from H and why that estimate is uncertain.

How this page is made

Source: NASA JPL's Close-Approach Data service. Our collector asks it every 6 hours for the query its documentation gives as the default: close approaches of near-Earth objects to Earth within 0.05 au in the next 60 days, sorted by date. JPL's usage policy asks that its interfaces are not embedded in a website, so we serve our own copy, and the list can be a little behind JPL's.
The data time is the day our collector read the list, and the page lists the passes from that day on, so the page changes only when JPL's list or the day changes. The page is published only when the list was read less than 48 hours ago.

Questions

What is the first asteroid close approach in the list from 6 October 2026?

2026 TP1, at 6 October 2026, 00:54 UTC, at 16.44 lunar distances (6,319,126 km), at 6.54 km/s relative to Earth.

Does any pass closer than the Moon's average distance?

Yes: 1 of the 37, 2025 UK9 (0.82 lunar distances, 31 October 2026). One lunar distance here is 384,400 km, the Moon's average distance.

Which is the fastest?

2026 TC2, at 21.63 km/s relative to Earth, on 7 October 2026.

Does this page say whether an asteroid will hit Earth?

No. It lists the passes JPL predicts, with JPL's distances and times, and makes no statement about impacts.
