Near-Earth Object
2022 HA
NASA ID: 54275937
2022 HA will pass Earth on 18 October 2026 at a distance of 187.53 lunar distances (LD) - about 72,085,208 km - travelling at 76,582 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 35 and 79 metres, roughly the size of a football pitch (around 105 m long). NASA does not classify it as potentially hazardous.

The real orbit in 3D
The actual path of 2022 HA around the Sun, computed from JPL orbital elements. Drag to rotate, scroll to zoom, and use the time controls to run the orbit forwards or back.
Every recorded pass
Each dot is one close approach of 2022 HA to Earth between 1953 and 2091, from JPL's records. Lower means closer: a dot under the dashed line passed nearer than the Moon. The orange dot is the approach on this page.
Size Comparison
Reading the Numbers
- A lunar distance (LD) is the average gap between Earth and the Moon, about 384,400 km. It is the standard yardstick for close approaches. Read more →
- Diameter estimates come from brightness. A dark surface reflects less light than a bright one, so the true size can sit anywhere in the quoted range. Read more →
- Potentially hazardous is a watch-list label based on size and orbital proximity. It does not mean an impact is expected. Read more →
