Near-Earth Object
2024 SE
NASA ID: 54480234
2024 SE will pass Earth on 17 April 2027 at a distance of 150.86 lunar distances (LD) - about 57,990,253 km - travelling at 73,402 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 34 and 76 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 2024 SE 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 SE to Earth between 1916 and 2036, 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 →
