Near-Earth Object
2024 TN2
NASA ID: 54487276
2024 TN2 will pass Earth on 18 June 2027 at a distance of 81.75 lunar distances (LD) - about 31,425,145 km - travelling at 64,241 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 23 and 52 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 TN2 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 TN2 to Earth between 1957 and 2030, 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 →
