Asteroid (2024 VV1)
Closest pass on 2026-Nov-08 04:26 TDB (Julian Date: 2461352.684564181)
Key Facts
- On 2026-Nov-08 04:26, asteroid (2024 VV1) passed Earth at a nominal distance of 10,700,000 km (27.7 lunar distances).
- At closest approach, the object was traveling at 6.55 km/s relative to Earth.
- The object has an estimated size of 15.5 m, which is about one and a half school buses.
- The miss distance was about 28 times the distance to the Moon.
- Hazard classification: 10 to 25 meters. Produces a powerful high-altitude shockwave capable of shattering windows, damaging roofs, and producing minor local injuries like the 2013 Chelyabinsk event.
