Near-Earth Object
518810 (2010 CF19
NASA ID: 20518810
518810 (2010 CF19 will pass Earth on 28 October 2026 at a distance of 59.56 lunar distances (LD) - about 22,895,177 km - travelling at 20,346 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 83 and 83 metres, roughly the size of a football pitch (around 105 m long). NASA classifies it as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) - a designation based on size and orbital proximity, not on any predicted impact.

The actual path of 518810 (2010 CF19 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 518810 (2010 CF19 to Earth between 1906 and 2096, 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 →
