Astrophyzix Digital Observatory Planetary Defence: Near-Earth Object Close Approach Briefing
Estimated size: ~8 m
Closest distance: 2.57 Lunar Distances (~0.99 million km)
Status: NO HAZARD
Observatory briefing
Routine orbital surveillance for the final week of February 2026 shows a sequence of small Near-Earth Objects safely transiting the Earth–Moon orbital region. Such passages occur continuously due to the large population of minor bodies whose solar orbits intersect Earth’s neighbourhood.
