Near-Earth Object
678964 (2018 CC14
NASA ID: 20678964
678964 (2018 CC14 will pass Earth on 6 April 2027 at a distance of 19.19 lunar distances (LD) - about 7,375,595 km - travelling at 32,162 km/h. Its estimated diameter is between 88 and 197 metres, roughly the size of The Shard in London (310 m tall). NASA does not classify it as potentially hazardous.

Every recorded pass
Each dot is one close approach of 678964 (2018 CC14 to Earth between 1909 and 2057, 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 →
