Near-Earth Object
441987 (2010 NY65
NASA ID: 20441987
441987 (2010 NY65 will pass Earth on 1 July 2026 at a distance of 71.1 lunar distances (LD) - about 27,329,986 km - travelling at 62,587 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 228 and 228 metres, roughly the size of The Shard in London (310 m tall). NASA classifies it as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) - a designation based on size and orbital proximity, not on any predicted impact.

Every recorded pass
Each dot is one close approach of 441987 (2010 NY65 to Earth between 2013 and 2023, 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 →
