Below is the list of asteroids that have come close to Earth in 2022.
Timeline of known close approaches less than one lunar distance from Earth
A list of known near-Earth asteroid close approaches less than 1 lunar distance (0.0025696 AU (384,410 km; 238,860 mi)) from Earth in 2022.[1] During 2022 about 124 asteroids passed within 1 LD of Earth. As most asteroids passing within a lunar distance are less than 40 meters in diameter, they generally are not detected until they are within several million km of Earth.
For reference, the radius of Earth is about 0.0000426 AU (6,370 km; 3,960 mi) or 0.0166 lunar distances. Geosynchronous satellites have an orbit with semi-major axis length of 0.000282 AU (42,200 km; 26,200 mi) or 0.110 lunar distances.
The first asteroid flyby within 1 LD of Earth in 2022 was asteroid 2021 YK (10–20 meters in diameter), which was observed on 27 December 2021 04:40 UT (when it was about 3.8 million km from Earth) and passed 0.49 LD (190 thousand km) from Earth on 2 January 2022. The largest asteroid to pass within 1 LD of Earth in 2022 was 2022 TM2 with an estimated diameter of around 39 meters for an absolute magnitude of 25.2. The fastest asteroid to pass within 1 LD of Earth in 2022 was 2022 YW6 that passed Earth with a velocity with respect to Earth of 29.8 km/s (67,000 mph).[2][note 1]
Two asteroids, 2022 EB5 and 2022 WJ1, are noteworthy in that both were detected before impacting Earth. 2022 EB5 and 2022 WJ1 are the 5th and 6th successfully predicted impacts in history, respectively. The latter also holds the record for the smallest asteroid discovered while in space, with an estimated diameter less than 1 metre (3.3 ft) across.[3] Every year, dozens of asteroids impact Earth with enough force to be detected by infrasound sensors designed to detect detonation of nuclear devices, but the vast majority of impacts are unpredicted and occur without warning. Fortunately, most occur over uninhabited areas.[4]
Rows highlighted red indicate objects which were not discovered until after closest approach
Rows highlighted yellow indicate objects discovered less than 24 hours before closest approach
Rows highlighted green indicate objects discovered more than one week before closest approach
Rows highlighted turquoise indicate objects discovered more than 7 weeks before closest approach
Rows highlighted blue indicate objects discovered more than one year before closest approach (i.e.
objects successfully cataloged on a previous orbit, rather than being detected during final approach)

Warning times by size
This sub-section visualises the warning times of the close approaches listed in the above table, depending on the size of the asteroid. It shows the effectiveness of asteroid warning systems at detecting close approaches. The sizes of the charts show the relative sizes of the asteroids to scale. For comparison, the approximate size of a person is also shown. This is based the absolute magnitude of each asteroid, an approximate measure of size based on brightness.[1]
Absolute magnitude 30 and greater

Prediction accuracy for asteroids of magnitude 27 or larger nominally predicted to pass within 1 lunar distance of Earth in 2022[note 5] |
![]()
|
Below is the list of predicted close approaches of near-Earth asteroids larger than magnitude 27, that were predicted at the start of the year to occur in 2022.[note 5] This relates to the effectiveness of asteroid cataloging systems at predicting close approaches. A predicted close approach distance of within ±50% is considered to be a successful prediction.[note 6]
For asteroids which were observed but not predicted, see the main list above.
Rows highlighted orange indicate objects which were predicted theoretically but were not observed in practice
Rows highlighted yellow indicate objects which were predicted and observed but the predicted close approach date and distance were incorrect
Rows highlighted green indicate objects which were observed with the predicted close approach distance (within ±50%) but wrong date
Rows highlighted turquoise indicate objects which were observed with the predicted close approach date but wrong distance (out by over 50%)
Rows highlighted blue indicate objects which were observed as predicted with the correct close approach date and distance
Rows in grey indicate predicted objects that are not yet due
Object | Recovery Date[note 7] | Predicted Date of closest approach | Actual Date of closest approach | Predicted closest approach distance (Lunar distance) | Actual closest approach distance (Lunar distance)[note 6] | (H) (abs. mag) | Approx. Size (m) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
2020 TO2 | Not observed[258] | 2022-10-15 ±4 days [259] | Not observed | 1.34–20.6 (1.39 nominal) | Not observed | 26.4 | 14–31 |
2015 RN35 | 2022-08-29[260] | 2022-12-15 [261] | 2022-12-15 | 1.78–1.79 (1.78 nominal) | 1.785 LD | 23.1 | 64–140 |
Notes
- ^ 2022 YW6 passed Earth with a velocity with respect to Earth of 29.8 km/s and was moving away from the Sun at 38.1 km/s.
- ^ Discovery date, and if the object was confirmed and previously undiscovered, the discoverer
- ^ Distance from the center of Earth to the center of the object. See the NASA/JPL Solar System Dynamics Glossary: Geocentric. Earth has a radius of approximately 6,400 km (0.0166 LD).
- ^ Objects that approached closer to the Moon than Earth are marked with a check.
- ^ a b Absolute magnitude 27 is the estimated magnitude of the Chelyabinsk meteor, which caused widespread damage and injury, but no deaths. Objects smaller than this are excluded.
- ^ a b Asteroids with a predicted close approach distance of up to 2 LD are included in the table, since a 2 LD prediction that is out by -50% will result in a 1 LD close approach.
- ^ The date that the object was reacquired i.e. the earliest date this close approach was observed
Additional examples
Below is an example list of near-Earth asteroids that passed or nominally will pass more than 1 lunar distance (384,400 km or 0.00256 AU) from Earth in 2022. During 2021 over 1000 asteroids passed within 10 LD (3.8 million km) of Earth.
Rows highlighted yellow indicate short arc objects that have not been observed for years and therefore the uncertainty in the approach distance and date are large
Rows highlighted red indicate objects which are risk–listed with a virtual impactor near this date

Notes
- ^ For comparison as closest Venus approach was 2022-Jan-08 at 0.2658 AU (103.4 LD). (Earth came to perihelion on 2022-Jan-04.)
- ^ 2009 JF1 was unique because it was rare to have an asteroid predicted to pass within 1 AU of the Earth (in the next year) and have better than a 1:50,000 chance of impact. Before re-measurements of the existing astrometry in February 2022, 2009 JF1 was nominally predicted to pass about 0.1 AU (15 million km; 39 LD) from Earth with a 1:3800 chance of impact.
- ^ Mercury also passed 257 LD from Earth on January 24 and 251 LD from Earth on September 20. Mercury makes a closest approach to Earth about every 116 days.
- ^ As of 1 November 2022 the uncertainty in the close approach distance of 2022 RM4 on 1 November 2022 was ±77 km.
- ^ The uncertainty region for (85713) 1998 SS49 on 2022-Nov-21 was ±28 km.
- ^ Mars closest approach is 2022-Dec-01 even though opposition in the sky is 2022-Dec-08. Mars close approaches occur about every 26 months (779.94 days).
- ^ The uncertainty region for 2013 YA14 on 2022-Dec-25 was ±9 km.
