Near-Earth Object
2022 UO11
NASA ID: 54320730
2022 UO11 will pass Earth on 28 July 2027 at a distance of 48.22 lunar distances (LD) - about 18,537,687 km - travelling at 24,845 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 13 and 30 metres, roughly the size of a double-decker bus (around 11 m long). NASA does not classify it as potentially hazardous.

Every recorded pass
Each dot is one close approach of 2022 UO11 to Earth between 1982 and 2067, 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 →
