Next asteroid close approach: 2026 TD1 will pass Earth at ~2,555,912 km on October 5, 2026 — that's 6.6 lunar distances away, zipping by at 6.8 km/s.
While it's a safe distance, this celestial event offers a unique chance to track the asteroid’s live distance and heliocentric orbit as it approaches.
