Near-Earth asteroids
Asteroids passing Earth this week
NASA’s Near Earth Object Web Service lists 37 asteroid close approaches from October 28, 2026 to November 3, 2026. None passes within 10 lunar distances (about 3.8 million km), 8 are labeled potentially hazardous, and the closest, 2018 GS1, misses Earth by about 4,240,878 km.

All of these are misses. Each row is a predicted flyby with its miss distance. “Potentially hazardous” describes an asteroid’s size and orbit over the long term, not a risk this week.

How to read the table
- Estimated diameter
- A range calculated from the asteroid’s brightness (absolute magnitude) and a typical range of surface reflectivity. Most of these objects have never been measured directly.
- Miss distance
- The predicted distance between the asteroid and Earth’s center at closest approach.
- Lunar distance (LD)
- The average Earth–Moon distance, about 384,400 km (238,855 miles). An LD of 1.0 means as far as the Moon.
- Potentially hazardous
- Larger than about 140 meters with an orbit that can come within 0.05 au (about 7.5 million km) of Earth’s orbit.
- Sentry list
- Objects that JPL’s Sentry system is monitoring for a possible future impact, usually with a very small probability.
