Near-Earth Object Close-Approach Report: June 17, 2026

Near-Earth object encounters catalogued across a 7-day window, reported on the UTC civil time scale. NO IMPACT THREAT REPORTED 

On June 17, 2026,  screening of the NASA NeoWs catalogue resolves 37 near-Earth object close approaches across the report window. The single closest encounter reported by NASA NEOWS is 2003 LN6, passing at approximately 3.68 lunar distances (1,417,040 km) with a relative velocity near 3.9 km/s. Its order-of-magnitude kinetic energy, for scale only, is near 0 Mt TNT equivalent; no listed object is on an impacting trajectory. Screening of Live NASA JPL CAD shows only routine safe approaches. The next closest encounter reported by NASA CAD is 2026 LO1 at just over 14 lunar distances as shown below with five objects which are approaching shortly after.  A seven day outlook from NASA’s NeoWs is included for comprehensive coverage from both NASA data sets.

High‑Order Integrators NASA API Integration

Introduction

This article is written in response to recent questions from Astrophyzix users asking how our orbital‑refinement system works, what computational methods we use, and how our visualisations achieve the same scientific fidelity seen in NASA’s SBDB Orbital Viewer. Astrophyzix does not copy and paste data or information. We use live, raw data provided by NASA and it is processed through our own systems to provide the public with an easy to understand platform without compromising the raw data. Here's how we do it. 

Astrophyzix is committed to transparent science communication. This report explains — in clear, technical detail — the numerical standards, integrators, GPU compute systems, and NASA data pipelines that power the Astrophyzix Digital Observatory.

Numerical Foundations — Float64 & IEEE‑754

Astrophyzix performs all orbital calculations using Float64, the 64‑bit floating‑point format defined by the IEEE‑754 standard. This provides:

• ~15–17 digits of precision
• stable rounding behaviour
• predictable error propagation
• compatibility with NASA Horizons and JPL SBDB data

Lower‑precision formats (Float32) introduce rounding errors that accumulate into kilometre‑scale deviations over long integrations. Float64 ensures:

• accurate MOID calculations
• stable long‑term orbit propagation
• precise close‑approach modelling
• correct gravitational‑keyhole geometry

Float64 is the same precision used by NASA, ESA, and academic orbital‑mechanics software — Astrophyzix uses it for every physics engine.

Apophis 2029 Flyby Key Takeaways

• No impact risk: NASA’s current orbital solutions for Apophis show zero impact probability for at least the next 100 years.^[1]
• The 2029 flyby: Using official NASA data, Astrophyzix can confirm that on Friday 13 April 2029, Apophis will pass at about 32,000 km above Earth’s surface (about 20,000 miles), closer than geostationary satellites but on a safe, non-impact trajectory.^[1],[2]
• Impact Risk removed: Astrophyzix can conform that high-precision radar observations in 2020–2021 allowed NASA to rule out all impact scenarios for 2029, 2036, and beyond within the 100‑year assessment window.^[1],[3]
• New Science opportunity: The upcoming 2029 encounter is now treated as a science scenario, not a hazard scenario. Astrophyzix Digital Observatory is looking forward to observing and studying this asteroid in 2029 during the flyby event.
• A Benchmark object: Apophis is used as a reference case in planetary defence simulations, mission design studies, and public‑communication exercises.^[4]

Introduction 

This FAQ uses verified scientific data from NASA, JPL, ESA, and peer‑reviewed research. It is designed to cut through misinformation and explain the 2029 Apophis flyby using real orbital mechanics, radar measurements, and planetary defence standards. 

Planetary Defence is a serious subject, it should be reported responsibly and with clarity. Never trust click-bait titles or sensational headlines you see online. Always consult official data from credible, trusted sources. Below are common questions people ask, answered with integrity. 

What is Apophis?

Asteroid (99942) Apophis is a near‑Earth asteroid discovered on 19 June 2004. It is an Aten‑class asteroid, meaning its orbit is smaller than Earth’s but crosses Earth’s orbital path. Apophis is classified as an S‑type stony asteroid with a diameter of roughly 340–370 metres. Radar imaging from NASA’s Goldstone facility shows Apophis has a bi‑lobed “peanut” shape, similar to other rubble‑pile asteroids.

• Full scientific data analysis by Astrophyzix can be found here https://www.astrophyzix.com/2026/04/apophis-2029-approach-offical-data.html
• You can use the Astrophyzix Asteroid Lookup tool to view the live NASA data profile of Apophis. 
• See live detailed data, orbital dynamics, flyby countdown and comprehensive data sets using the Astrophyzix Live Apophis Tracker

The new V4 Astrophyzix Apophis Tracking and Monitoring tool is considered by Microsoft Bing to be the "best public Apophis tracker available online". It offers the most comprehensive tracking experience with real-time data, including the asteroid's position, speed, and potential encounters with Earth. The tool is integrated with the official NASA API and provides exclusive data sets, making it a valuable resource for both astronomers and the general public interested in the asteroid's trajectory and safety

Is Apophis going to hit Earth in 2029?

No. Astrophyzix can confirm that there is no risk in 2029. Ignore all of the click-bait and sensational headlines. Again, there is no impact risk in 2029 — you're safe. 

NASA’s orbital solutions, refined with radar data from 2020–2021, eliminated all impact trajectories for 2029, 2036, 2068, and the next 100 years. Apophis is now rated Torino Scale 0 and Condition Code 0, meaning its orbit is extremely well known. If NASA had even the slightest doubts the condition code would be higher than zero, and it isn't. 

How close will Apophis come to Earth in 2029?

On Friday 13 April 2029, Apophis will pass about 32,000 km above Earth’s surface — closer than geostationary satellites. This is roughly:

• 1/10th the distance to the Moon
• Closer than many communication satellites
• Visible to the naked eye from parts of Europe, Africa, and Asia

Why was Apophis once considered dangerous?

In 2004, astronomers had only a short observation arc. With limited data, the uncertainty region for Apophis’s orbit was large, and some early solutions intersected Earth. As more data arrived, especially radar ranging, the uncertainty collapsed and all impact scenarios were ruled out.

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. 

Published 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. 

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.

Three Apollo Class Asteroids (NEO) Are Making a Close Approach To Earth Today and All Will Pass Without Drama - Astrophyzix Digital Observatory Latest Asteroid News

NEO Close Approach Report by Astrophyzix Digital Observatory

Introduction 

Earth’s near‑space environment is currently hosting a cluster of scientifically notable—but safely distant—close approaches from three Apollo‑class near‑Earth asteroids: 2004 XA45, 2018 EW1, and 2018 JN1. While none of these objects meet Potentially Hazardous Asteroid criteria, each encounter provides a valuable snapshot of NEO population behaviour across a wide range of sizes, velocities, and orbital histories. Their passages highlight the diversity of objects that routinely move through the inner Solar System: from sub‑30‑meter bodies comparable to the Chelyabinsk airburst to multi‑hundred‑meter asteroids large enough to represent regional‑scale impactors under different orbital circumstances.

The Pentagon’s New UFO Archive: What the Evidence Actually Shows - Scientific Analysis Without Hype and Sensationalism

What the evidence actually shows in the newly released U.S. UAP UFO archive

Published by: Astrophyzix Digital Observatory

Evidence-First Analysis Without The Hype 

Introduction 

For decades, unidentified flying objects — now more commonly referred to as UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) — have occupied a strange space between national security, scientific curiosity, public fascination, and conspiracy culture. 

That conversation intensified again following the recent public release of historical UFO-related material through the U.S. government portal at war.gov/UFO.

Public Response 

The archive has already generated dramatic headlines across social media and online commentary, with some claiming the release “confirms aliens,” while others dismiss the material entirely. Neither extreme accurately reflects the available evidence.

A careful examination of the released material instead reveals something more nuanced:

 governments have spent decades investigating aerial observations they could not immediately identify, primarily because unidentified objects in restricted airspace represent potential intelligence and defence concerns. 

• That reality is important — but it is certainly not equivalent to proof of extraterrestrial visitation.

This article examines the release from an evidence-first perspective, separating verified information from speculation while evaluating what the documents actually demonstrate.

What Was Released?

The newly public archive appears to compile historical records connected to UFO and UAP investigations conducted by various U.S. government agencies over several decades. 

Reports indicate that the collection includes material linked to:

• the Department of Defense,
• military aviation incidents,
• intelligence assessments,
• radar observations,
• pilot testimony,
• and previously scattered archival records.

Coverage of the release by major outlets such as the Washington Post suggests the archive is being presented as a transparency initiative rather than a declaration of extraordinary discoveries.

Historically, UFO investigations within the United States have included:

• Project Sign,
• Project Grudge,
• Project Blue Book,
• the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP),
• and more recent Pentagon UAP review offices.

Astrophyzix Launches the Universe Expansion Simulation Tool (SIM‑09): A New Window Into Cosmic Evolution

Astrophyzix Launches Another Flagship Module - The Universe Expansion Simulation Tool 

Introduction

Astrophyzix has officially released the Universe Expansion Simulation Tool (SIM‑09) — a fully interactive FLRW cosmology engine that models the evolution of the universe across more than 13 billion years of cosmic history. Built on the ΛCDM framework and enhanced with multiple alternative cosmological presets, the tool offers a level of clarity, precision, and accessibility rarely seen outside academic research environments.

This launch marks a major expansion of the Astrophyzix Digital Observatory, extending its capabilities beyond Live NEO/PHA tracking, impact modelling, orbital dynamics and supernova simulations into the domain of large‑scale cosmology.

What the Tool Does

The Universe Expansion Simulation Tool models the evolution of the scale factor a(t) under the Friedmann–Lemaître–Robertson–Walker (FLRW) metric. Users can explore how the universe expands, decelerates, accelerates, or collapses depending on the values of:

• H₀ (Hubble constant)
• Ωₘ (matter density)
• Ωᵣ (radiation density)
• ΩΛ (dark‑energy density)
• w (dark‑energy equation of state)

The simulation integrates the Friedmann equation in real time, producing:

• A dynamic comoving particle field
• A scale‑factor vs. cosmic‑time graph
• Real‑time values of H(t), q(t), z, and t
• A predicted asymptotic fate of the universe

This makes the tool both visually compelling and scientifically rigorous.

Key Capabilities

• Interactive ΛCDM evolution
  Adjust cosmological parameters and instantly see how the universe’s expansion history changes.

• Multiple cosmological presets
  Including PLANCK 2018, SHOES (Hubble tension), Einstein‑de Sitter, and Closed Universe models.

• Dynamic cosmic‑fate prediction
  The tool determines whether the universe ends in Heat Death, Big Crunch, Open Coasting, or Big Rip, depending on the chosen parameters.

• Real‑time FLRW integration
  Uses a stable fourth‑order Runge–Kutta method and Simpson quadrature for cosmic age calculations.

• Comoving field visualisation
  A 12 Mpc reference field shows galaxies drifting apart (or collapsing) according to the scale factor.

• Scientific documentation
  A full Governance & Methodology section explains the equations, assumptions, numerical methods, and validation benchmarks.
