PHA NEO Asteroid Near-Earth Object Close-Approach Report: June 17, 2026 - Official NASA CAD & NeoWs Data
ASTROPHYZIX // PLANETARY Defence Asteroid News
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.

Asteroid 2021 KN2 — Elite‑Tier NEO Close‑Approach & Orbital Profile · JPL SBDB Solution JPL 3
✅ Data aligned with: JPL SBDB, CNEOS CAD, NASA Horizons - Last verified against JPL SBDB: 31 May 2026 13:42 UTC
Key Takeaways of Asteroid 2021 KN2
- NASA JPL Solution: Solution JPL 3 · Epoch 2461000.5 (2025‑Nov‑21.0 TDB) · SPK‑ID 54149826 · Producer: Otto Matic
- Orbit class: Apollo NEO — a = 1.4064 au, e = 0.3718, i = 3.77°, orbital period 609.23 days (1.67 years).
- Earth MOID: 0.001331 au (~199,000 km), placing the nominal orbit well inside the Earth–Moon system, but with no impact solutions in current JPL or CNEOS catalogues.
- Size estimate: Absolute magnitude H = 28.63 → approximate diameter ~5–12 m (albedo‑dependent), firmly in the small NEO regime.
- Rotation: Extremely fast rotation period of 0.021007 h (~75.6 seconds), based on LCDB data, suggesting a cohesive or monolithic body rather than a loose rubble pile.
- Orbit quality: Condition code 6, based on 65 observations over a 1‑day data arc (2021‑05‑30 to 2021‑05‑31), with a normalised RMS of 0.23451 — a short‑arc, moderately uncertain orbit.
- Recent close approach: On 2021‑05‑31, 2021 KN2 passed Earth at a nominal distance of 0.00097 au (~145,000 km) and the Moon at 0.00306 au, a close but non‑impacting flyby.
- Risk context: Not a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid — too small (H > 22) and no impact geometry in current solutions.
- Ignore clickbait and sensational claims about “mystery asteroids nearly hitting Earth” — the official data show 2021 KN2 as a small, well‑tracked, non‑hazardous NEO.

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.
