Closest pass on 2026-Nov-08 14:32 TDB (Julian Date: 2461353.10527335)
Key Facts
- On 2026-Nov-08 14:32, asteroid (2022 TB41) passed Earth at a nominal distance of 9,200,000 km (23.9 lunar distances).
- At closest approach, the object was traveling at 6.63 km/s relative to Earth.
- The object has an estimated size of 3.95 m, which is about the size of a family car.
- The miss distance was just under 24 times the distance to the Moon.
- Hazard classification: Under 10 meters. Typically burns up harmlessly high in the upper atmosphere, producing a bright meteor fireball with negligible ground risk and occasional small meteorite fragments.
