Asteroid 2014 RX22 Close Approach

Not flagged as hazardousNASA/JPL page

Quiet Pass

Asteroid 2014 RX22 is a near-Earth object catalogued by NASA under reference ID 3689018. Its estimated diameter is 17–38 m (average 27 m), inferred from brightness rather than measured directly. Its closest catalogued approach to Earth occurs on Mon, Sep 11, 1961, missing by 6,608,652 km — 17.18 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.
