Asteroid 2015 XX169 Close Approach

Not flagged as hazardousNASA/JPL page

Notable Pass

Asteroid 2015 XX169 is a near-Earth object catalogued by NASA under reference ID 3736412. Its estimated diameter is 9–20 m (average 14 m), inferred from brightness rather than measured directly. Its closest catalogued approach to Earth occurs on Sat, Dec 14, 2143, missing by 2,507,721 km — 6.52 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.
