Frequently asked questions
How close does 152637 come to Earth?
Its next notable close approach is on 2026-Jun-27, when it passes about 6.7 lunar distances from Earth — roughly 2,565,840 km. 152637 is currently about 8 lunar distances away — the live orbit and distance are shown above.
Is 152637 going to hit Earth?
No impact is predicted. 152637 is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid, which means its orbit brings it relatively close to Earth — but classification is about proximity, not an impending collision. Its trajectory is continuously refined as new observations are gathered, and predicted close approaches are calculated decades ahead. Its live position and orbit are shown above.
How big is 152637?
152637 is estimated at about 947 m across — roughly the height of the Burj Khalifa. Size estimates are derived from how bright the asteroid appears and refined by radar and thermal measurements when it passes close to Earth.
What kind of orbit does 152637 have?
152637 is ATE object. It orbits the Sun once every 0.80 years, on an elliptical path that spends much of its time inside Earth’s orbit. The interactive orbit diagram above shows where it is right now.
Can I see 152637 through a telescope?
Most of the time 152637 is far too faint to see, but during a close approach it can brighten enough for amateur telescopes, and the largest near-Earth asteroids occasionally reach binocular range. Check the close-approach date above, then plan your night with our sky and space-weather tools.
