Daily Near-Earth Object Close-Approach Report: June 11, 2026

Near-Earth object encounters catalogued across a 7-day window, reported on the UTC civil time scale.

On June 11, 2026 (UTC), daily screening of the NASA NeoWs catalogue resolves 39 near-Earth object close approaches across the report window. The single closest encounter 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; Astrophyzix can confirm that no listed object is on an impacting trajectory. There is currently no known impact threat reported.

Asteroid 2026 HZ3 Key Takeaways

• Newly discovered NEO: (2026 HZ3) is a recently observed Apollo-class near-Earth asteroid with a short data-arc (4 days) and a relatively high orbital uncertainty (condition code 7).
• Small object: With an absolute magnitude H ≈ 25.3, (2026 HZ3) is likely a small asteroid, on the order of a few tens of metres in diameter, depending on its surface reflectivity.
• Close approach in 2026: A nominal close approach to Earth occurs on 1 May 2026 at a distance of about 0.010 au (around 1.5 million km), well outside any impact scenario under current solutions.
• Earth MOID: The current Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID) with Earth is about 0.00497 au (~745,000 km), indicating close-approach potential but not an imminent threat.
• Preliminary orbit: Because the orbit is based on only 38 observations over 4 days, all risk and trajectory assessments are considered preliminary and will be refined as more data are collected.

Scientific consensus snapshot (preliminary)

Parameter	Status (NASA JPL SBDB Solution 5 | 2026-Apr-28 06:20:37)
Impact risk (100-year context)	No confirmed impact solution; orbit still under refinement (condition code 7).
Orbital uncertainty	Moderate–high (short 4-day data-arc, condition code 7).
2026 close approach	Nominal miss distance ~0.010 au (~1.5 million km) — a safe flyby under current solutions.
Hazard classification	NEO (Apollo). Not formally classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) at this time.
Scientific priority	Monitoring and orbit refinement; representative of small NEOs that frequently pass near Earth.
