The following table shows close approaches to the Earth by near-Earth objects (NEOs) limited as selected in the “Table Settings” below. Data are not available prior to 1900 A.D. nor after 2200 A.D. Data are further limited to encounters with reasonably low uncertainty.

View NEOs in the 3D Solar System Simulator. A constantly up to date list of the predicted close approaches of Earth with of NEO Asteroids happening in the near future.
Close Approaches. As they orbit the Sun, Near-Earth Objects occasionally approach close to Earth. CNEOS calculates the motion of all NEOs forwards to 2200 A.D. and backwards to 1900 A.D.,and determines the times and distances of the Earth close approaches. The results are tabulated here.
