Latest PHA / NEO Asteroid Close Approach Report - Official Data - Asteroid News by Astrophyzix Digital Observatory - 11 May 2026

No Near-Earth Objects Within 10 Lunar Distances Detected Over Next 7 Days - As of The Time Of Report. 

Written by: Astrophyzix Digital Observatory

NEO and PHA Asteroid Report - 11th May 2026

At the time of writing, the NASA-integrated Astrophyzix Digital Observatory monitoring console reports that there are currently no known Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) or Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (PHAs) forecast to pass within 10 Lunar Distances (LD) of Earth during the next seven days. New objects are often discovered and the 7 Day Data is a dynamic observation window, so things inevitably do change — that's the beauty of science. 

You can access a real-time NEO/PHA report at any time, totally free on the Astrophyzix Today's NEO/PHA Approaches page. It provides official, live, understandable and comprehensive object data, profiles and original Astrophyzix analysis of each close approach. So you're planetary defence news needs are always met, in real time. Every page load is a fresh, original report with data and analysis grounded on official data. 

Astrophyzix Digital Observatory PHA Monitoring Console

Current observational data indicates that all tracked objects remain at safe distances from Earth, with no impact threat identified by NASA or any recognised planetary defence organisation.

Current PHA Monitoring Overview

The observatory console currently identifies four classified Potentially Hazardous Asteroids within the active monitoring window. Although these objects meet the technical criteria for PHA classification due to orbital geometry and estimated size, all four are forecast to remain at substantial and safe distances from Earth.

Potentially Hazardous Asteroid classification does not indicate an imminent collision threat. It is a scientific monitoring designation used for long-term orbital tracking and planetary defence analysis.

Distance Analysis by Astrophyzix

One Lunar Distance (LD) represents the average distance between Earth and the Moon, approximately 384,400 kilometres.

The closest object listed in this report, asteroid 375103 (2007 TD71), is forecast to pass at approximately 34.040 Lunar Distances from Earth. This corresponds to a distance of roughly 13.1 million kilometres, far beyond any recognised impact concern threshold.

No Reported Impact Risk

All currently monitored PHAs in this observational interval are well catalogued and continuously tracked through international planetary defence systems, including NASA's Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS).

No impact probabilities or collision risks have been reported for any of the objects listed in this monitoring period. Current orbital solutions remain stable, with observational datasets considered sufficient for reliable trajectory forecasting.

Scientific Context Without Hype

The majority of close-approaching asteroids pass Earth safely at distances many times greater than the Earth-Moon separation. Modern asteroid surveys and orbital computation systems are specifically designed to identify and monitor these objects years or decades in advance.

PHA classification criteria are primarily based on:

Classification Factor Description
Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) Measures how closely an asteroid orbit approaches Earth's orbit
Estimated Diameter Assesses potential energy release in the event of impact
Orbital Geometry Evaluates long-term orbital evolution and perturbations
Future Tracking Priority Determines need for continued monitoring and refinement

Astrophyzix Analysis of Next Notable Close Approaches - All of Which are Routinely Monitored and Safe

Astrophyzix Digital Observatory PHA Monitoring Console
The closest is (2007 VV83) on 2026-05-11, passing at 17,143,472 km (44.58 lunar distances). The largest is 318411 (2005 AH14) with an estimated average diameter of about 1,635 meters. The fastest is (2010 KC) at 30.4 km/s relative to Earth. Of the listed approaches, 0 are classified as Potentially Hazardous Asteroids. Overall, these close approaches are routine and pose no threat to Earth.
