New NEOs are discovered almost daily by scientists around the world. Any newly discovered object is catalogued
by the Minor Planet Centre (MPC). Some of these objects have orbits that will bring them close to the Earth and
are potentially hazardous.
The Close Approach Table below lists all 89 known approaches of NEOs, as listed by the MPC, to within 77.2 lunar distances (0.2 AU) of the Earth
from 25/09/2006 to 25/09/2007. This table is updated once a week from the MPC.
To see close approaches further in the future, or to search for
particular objects please use our close approach search engine. For more information on the table click the table column headers.
If you have a JAVA enabled browser and a high specification system you can see the orbit by clicking view in the table.
