Apollo NEO Condition Code 4 10‑Day Data Arc NO IMPACT RISK — See JPL Solution

Key Takeaways of Asteroid 2026 JH2 (Updated JPL Solution) (see previous solution report) 

• NASA JPL Solution: Solution JPL 9 · Epoch 2461000.5 (2025‑Nov‑21.0 TDB) · SPK‑ID 54629847 · Producer: Otto Matic
• Orbit class: Apollo Near‑Earth Object — semi‑major axis a = 2.4187 au, eccentricity e = 0.5822, inclination i ≈ 6.0°, orbital period 3.76 years (1373.9 days).
• Earth MOID: 0.000734498 au (~110,000 km), meaning the nominal orbit passes well inside the Earth–Moon system, but no impact solution is reported in current JPL risk catalogues.
• Size estimate: Absolute magnitude H = 26.352 → approximate diameter in the 10–25 m range (albedo‑dependent), consistent with a small NEO capable of airburst‑scale effects only in a hypothetical impact.
• Orbit quality: Condition code 4, based on 166 observations over a 10‑day data arc (2026‑05‑10 to 2026‑05‑20), with a normalised RMS of 0.34634 — a moderately well‑constrained, still‑refining orbit.
• Future close approach: JPL SBDB lists a notable Earth encounter on 2090‑05‑14 at a nominal distance of 0.00683 au (~1.0 million km) and relative velocity 9.10 km/s — a close but non‑impacting flyby.
• Risk context: 2026 JH2 is not a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) — its size (H > 22) is far below the PHA threshold, and no impact solutions are listed by NASA CNEOS or JPL SBDB.
• Ignore clickbait, sensational videos and news reports claiming that “an asteroid is about to hit Earth” — that is not supported by the data. Follow the evidence, not the entertainment.

Asteroid Apophis 2029 Flyby Updated Frequently Asked Questions — Answered With Real Science by Astrophyzix Digital Observatory

Everything you need to know about Asteroid Apophis and it's 2029 Close Approach to Earth - Evidence-First Asteroid News Without Sensationalism or Hype

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.

• 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.

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.

Written by: Astrophyzix Digital Observatory

Image Credit: NASA JPL SBDB

2026 Relevance: Illustrates orbital geometry and Earth-approach context for monitored near-Earth objects during the 2026 observation window.

Introduction

A Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA)  is a near-Earth object with an absolute magnitude of 22.0 or brighter (typically larger than ~140 metres) and a minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) of 0.05 AU or less. This classification does not indicate an impact threat, but identifies objects that require precise orbital monitoring.

Asteroid 363599 (2004 FG11) is a well-studied Apollo-class near-Earth object (NEO) and is formally classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA). This classification arises from its size and orbital proximity to Earth, specifically its Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID). The object has been extensively observed since its discovery in 2004, resulting in a highly refined orbital solution with exceptionally low uncertainty.

Notably, (2004 FG11) is a binary system with a confirmed satellite, making it scientifically significant for studies of asteroid mass, density, and internal structure. Its repeated close approaches to Earth make it a key object in long-term planetary defence monitoring.

Key Takeaways

• Binary Apollo-class NEO and Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA).
• Highly reliable orbit (condition code 0) based on 22+ years of observations.
• Estimated diameter: ~152 meters with relatively high albedo (0.306).
• Rotation period: ~7.02 hours.
• Earth MOID: 0.0203 AU (~3.04 million km).
• Regular Earth close approaches approximately every 2 years.
• Next significant Earth approach: 2026-Apr-11 at 0.05652 AU (~8.46 million km).
• No impact risk identified in current orbital solutions.

Scientific Consensus Snapshot

The orbital solution for (2004 FG11) is based on 507 optical observations and radar astrometry spanning over 22 years. The inclusion of radar delay and Doppler measurements significantly enhances orbital precision, resulting in a condition code of 0. This allows for highly accurate forward propagation of the orbit and reliable close-approach predictions.
