Frequently asked questions
How close does 2024 RR14 come to Earth?
Its next notable close approach is on 2027-Jan-13, when it passes about 8.4 lunar distances from Earth — roughly 3,225,074 km. 2024 RR14 is currently about 114 lunar distances away — the live orbit and distance are shown above.
Is 2024 RR14 going to hit Earth?
No impact is predicted. 2024 RR14 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 2024 RR14?
2024 RR14 is estimated at about 140 m across — about the length of a football pitch. 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 2024 RR14 have?
2024 RR14 is APO object. It orbits the Sun once every 1.95 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 2024 RR14 through a telescope?
Most of the time 2024 RR14 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.
