Frequently asked questions
How close does 2015 BF come to Earth?
Its next notable close approach is on 2026-Jul-26, when it passes about 17.3 lunar distances from Earth — roughly 6,631,829 km. 2015 BF is currently about 92 lunar distances away — the live orbit and distance are shown above.
Is 2015 BF going to hit Earth?
No impact is predicted. 2015 BF is not on any impact-risk watchlist. 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 2015 BF?
2015 BF is estimated at about 17 m across — about the size of a house. 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 2015 BF have?
2015 BF is APO object. It orbits the Sun once every 1.23 years, on an elliptical path that reaches beyond Earth’s orbit and swings back toward the Sun. The interactive orbit diagram above shows where it is right now.
Can I see 2015 BF through a telescope?
Most of the time 2015 BF is far too faint to see, but during a close approach it can brighten enough for amateur telescopes. Check the close-approach date above, then plan your night with our sky and space-weather tools.
