Key Takeaways of Asteroid 2026 KW (JPL Solution JPL 3)
- NASA JPL Solution: Solution JPL 3 · Epoch 2461000.5 (2025‑Nov‑21.0 TDB) · SPK‑ID 54630404
- Orbit class: Apollo NEO — a = 1.4127 au, e = 0.4172, i = 27.65°, orbital period 613.3 days.
- Earth MOID: 0.0076064 au (~1.14 million km) — close in astronomical terms, but no impact geometry.
- Size estimate: H = 25.669 → approximate diameter ~20–45 m (albedo‑dependent).
- Orbit quality: Condition code 7, based on only 28 observations over a 2‑day arc — a very early, still‑refining orbit.
- Close approaches: • Historical: 1937‑05‑25 Earth at 0.00728 au • Upcoming: 2026‑05‑25 Earth/Moon at 0.00830 au All are non‑impacting.
- Risk context: Not a PHA — H > 22 and MOID above hazard threshold.
- Ignore clickbait — Astrophyzix can confirm that no agency lists 2026 KW as a threat.
