Asteroid close approaches, month by month

Pick a month to see every recorded asteroid pass within 0.05 AU of Earth - that is about 7.5 million km, the threshold NASA uses for its close approach catalogue. Data comes from JPL's close approach database and includes both past months and passes already predicted for the year ahead.

Prefer to see them in motion?

The 3D solar system asteroid map plots the next 60 days of close approaches on their real orbits, with replays of famous flybys like Apophis 2029.
