Near-Earth Object
2024 EU4
NASA ID: 54431182
2024 EU4 will pass Earth on 27 March 2027 at a distance of 18.22 lunar distances (LD) - about 7,005,522 km - travelling at 93,715 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 101 and 225 metres, roughly the size of The Shard in London (310 m tall). NASA does not classify it as potentially hazardous.

The real orbit in 3D
The actual path of 2024 EU4 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 2024 EU4 to Earth between 2021 and 2033, 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 →
