This is a list of examples where an asteroid or meteoroid travels close to the Earth. Some of these objects are regarded as potentially hazardous objects if they are estimated to be large enough to cause regional devastation. This list also gives an overview of more detailed lists dedicated to specific years, such as List of asteroid close approaches to Earth in 2025.

Near-Earth object detection technology began to improve around 1998, so objects being detected as of 2004 could have been missed only a decade earlier due to a lack of dedicated near-Earth astronomical surveys. As sky surveys improve, smaller and smaller asteroids are regularly being discovered. As smaller asteroids are more numerous, ever more close approaches are detected within a given distance. In 2014, scientists estimated that several dozen asteroids in the {{convert|6-12|m|abbr=on}} size range fly by Earth at a distance closer than the Moon every year, but only a fraction of these are actually detected.{{Cite web |url=http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-052 |title=Responding to Potential Asteroid Redirect Mission Targets |website=Jet Propulsion Laboratory |access-date=2014-02-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140226020619/http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.php?release=2014-052 |archive-date=2014-02-26 |url-status=live }}

Definitions

The lists below are based on the close approach database of the Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), in its state {{As of|2025|2|27|lc=y}}.{{cite web |url=https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/ |title=NEO Earth Close Approaches |publisher=NASA/JPL CNEOS |access-date=2025-02-27 }} The database lists any approaches with a minimum distance less than 0.2 astronomical units (AU) from 1900 and until a century into the future which have been derived by orbit calculations. This includes some close approaches a full orbit or more before or after the object has been observed.

The distance calculated for an approach has an uncertainty, the magnitude of which depends on the amount, length in time and quality of observations used, the extrapolation time from the observations, and perturbations by other objects along the predicted orbit. The uncertainty is usually characterised by the 3-sigma uncertainty region, which is the nominal close approach distance plus or minus three times the standard deviation, and includes 99.7% of the probability distribution. For predicted close approaches in the future, if Earth is near the uncertainty region or intersects it, an impact risk is calculated.{{Cite web |url=https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/sentry/intro.html |title=Sentry: Earth Impact Monitoring |publisher=NASA/JPL CNEOS |access-date=2025-02-25 }} Confirmed impacts, however, aren't considered close approaches and are excluded from the CNEOS close approach database. Asteroids whose detection in space led to predicted impacts on Earth are listed separately,{{Cite web |url=https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/pi |title=Pre-Impact Detections |publisher=NASA/JPL CNEOS |access-date=2025-02-25 }} as are the hundreds of other objects that collided with Earth's atmosphere which were not discovered in advance but were observed visually or recorded by sensors designed to detect detonation of nuclear devices.{{Cite web |url=https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/fireballs |title=Fireballs |publisher=NASA/JPL CNEOS |access-date=2025-02-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250222004545/https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/fireballs/ |archive-date=2025-02-22 |url-status=live }} The CNEOS list also does not include Earth-grazers, objects that enter Earth's atmosphere at a very shallow angle and leave it again without burning up completely, but they are listed separately below. Although Earth's atmosphere thins out continuously with distance from Earth's surface, the nominal limit of space is the Kármán line, which is {{convert|100|km|abbr=on}} above sea level.

Timeline of closest approaches ever observed

The list below shows all approaches by potentially hazardous objects (objects which can approach Earth within 0.05 AU) without atmospheric contact which have been the closest ever observed at some point in time, from the discovery of the first such object to the record holder, {{As of|2025|2|lc=y}}.

Close approaches within one lunar distance

The average distance to the Moon (or lunar distance (LD)) is {{convert|384399|km|abbr=on}}, which is around 30 times the diameter of the Earth.{{cite web |author=NASA Staff |title=Solar System Exploration: Planets: Earth's Moon: Facts & Figures |url=http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Display=Facts&Object=Moon |date=10 May 2011 |publisher=NASA |access-date=6 November 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140210103759/http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/profile.cfm?Object=Moon&Display=Facts |archive-date=10 February 2014 |url-status=dead }} The lists in this section are of close approaches in less than one LD.

= Time of discovery =

The bar graphs below show the time of discovery relative to the time of the closest approach for each year. The asteroids are listed in separate list articles for each year. The statistics below only include close approaches that are evidenced by observations, thus the pre-discovery close approaches are only included if the object was found by precovery.

From the annual lists summarized in the preceding section, these are the closest known asteroids per year that approach Earth within one lunar distance. More than one asteroid per year may be listed if its geocentric distanceDistance from the center of Earth to the center of the object. See the NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics Glossary: [http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?glossary&term=geocentric Geocentric] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130214203225/http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/?glossary&term=geocentric |date=2013-02-14 }}. Earth has a radius of approximately 6,400 km.

The CNEOS database of close approaches lists some close approaches a full orbit or more before or after the discovery of the object, derived by orbit calculation. Until 2001 and in future years, all of these close approaches are included in the list below, but from the start of regular discoveries each year in 2001 until the current year, the list is limited to close approaches that are evidenced by observations, thus any of these pre-discovery close approaches are only included if the object was found by precovery.

{{color box|#ff9999}} Rows highlighted red indicate objects which were not discovered until after closest approach

{{color box|#ffff99}} Rows highlighted yellow indicate objects discovered less than 24 hours before closest approach

{{color box|#ffffff}} Rows left white indicate objects discovered 1–7 days before closest approach

{{color box|#99ff99}} Rows highlighted green indicate objects discovered more than one week before closest approach

{{color box|#79d8ff}} Rows highlighted blue indicate objects discovered more than one year before closest approach, i.e. objects successfully cataloged on a previous orbit, rather than being detected during final approach.

*367943 Duende is listed for 2013 although it was only the second-closest that year for notability: it is the largest asteroid that was observed while it approached within the radius of the geostationary orbit, it was also predicted nearly a year in advance, and coincidentally approached just a few hours after the unrelated Chelyabinsk meteor, which was unpredicted, but injured thousands of people when it impacted.

=Largest per year=

File:2005 YU55 approach 8-9 November 2011.gif and the Moon on 8–9 Nov 2011]]

From the lists in the first section, these are the largest known asteroids per year that approach Earth within one LD. (More than one asteroid per year may be listed if its size is {{convert|100|m|disp=sqbr|abbr=on}} or more.) For comparison, the 1908 Tunguska event was caused by an object about {{convert|60–190|m|abbr=on}} in size, while the 2013 Chelyabinsk meteor, which injured thousands of people and damaged buildings when it generated a large airburst over Russia, was estimated to be just {{convert|20|m|abbr=on}} across.

The CNEOS database of close approaches lists some close approaches a full orbit or more before or after the discovery of the object, derived by orbit calculation. For years when the largest of the objects that had an undetected close approach within 1 LD was larger than the largest of the objects that were detected in real time or in precovery, both objects are listed. If there were only undetected close approaches in a year, only objects larger than {{convert|25|m|disp=sqbr|abbr=on}} (or H ≤ 25.75) are shown.

The year 2011 was notable as two asteroids with size {{convert|100|m|abbr=on}} or more approached within one lunar distance.

= Extremes in relative speed =

The average near-Earth asteroid, such as [https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/tools/sbdb_lookup.html#/?sstr=2019VF5&view=OPC 2019 VF5], passes Earth at 18 km/s. The average short-period comet passes Earth at 30 km/s, and the average long-period comet passes Earth at 53 km/s. A retrograde parabolic Oort cloud comet (e=1, i=180°) could pass Earth at 72 km/s when 1 AU from the Sun.

Closest approaches by size

File:2005YU55-20111107.jpg

Below are lists of the closest approaches in different size ranges, the limits of which correspond to with size limits commonly considered in impact hazard scenarios. The list includes close approaches an orbital period or more before or after the closest observations in time which were derived by orbit calculation.

The diameter of most asteroids has not been measured directly, and can only be estimated from their brightness and assumed surface reflectivity or albedo. While the measured albedo of asteroids can be as low as 6% and as high as 20%, the default estimated size for asteroids in the CNEOS databases is calculated for an albedo of 14%, which is also used for the size range limits below.{{Cite web |url=https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/stats/ |title=Discovery Statistics. Introduction |publisher=NASA/JPL CNEOS |access-date=2025-02-26 }} For objects with uncertain albedo, the CNEOS close approach database provides a possible size range, which is shown in all the lists on this page. In case other, more precise size estimates are available from other sources, the tables below show those, too, but asteroids are sorted according to the size resp. absolute magnitude in the CNEOS database.

= Closest with an estimated diameter under 7 m (H > 28.5) =

If an asteroid less than {{convert|7|m|ft}} across (with an absolute magnitude greater than 28.5) impacts the Earth, it will produce spectacular but mostly harmless fireballs and meteorite falls. All of the asteroids that were destroyed in predicted impacts on Earth up to 2024 were in this size range. The list below shows all close approaches within {{convert|10000|km|mi|sigfig=4|abbr=on}} from the centre of the Earth (or about {{convert|3600|km|mi|abbr=on}} above its surface).

If an asteroid at the bottom of this size range, one {{convert|7|m|ft}} across (with an absolute magnitude greater than 28.5), has average asteroid density and impacts the Earth at average meteor speed, its impact energy is about 15 kilotons TNT equivalent, or roughly equivalent to the blast energy of the Hiroshima bomb.{{cite web |author1=Robert Marcus |author2=H.

{{main|Earth-grazing fireball}}

Objects which enter and then leave Earth's atmosphere, the so-called Earth-grazers, are a distinct phenomenon, inasmuch as entering the lower atmosphere can constitute an impact event rather than a close pass. Earth-grazer can also be short for a body that "grazes" the orbit of the Earth, in a different context.
