Notable Pass
Orbitfall Index

Asteroid 2006 HZ5 is a near-Earth object catalogued by NASA under reference ID 3330159. Its estimated diameter is 33–75 m (average 54 m), inferred from brightness rather than measured directly. Its closest catalogued approach to Earth occurs on Tue, Apr 6, 2060, missing by 1,840,365 km — 4.79 lunar distances. NASA does not classify it as a potentially hazardous asteroid.

This score ranks how notable the asteroid approach is. It is not an impact prediction.
