{"chart":{"slug":"next-asteroid-flybys","title":"Which asteroids will pass closest to Earth next?","takeaway":"These are the next 15 asteroids NASA expects to pass within 10 times the Moon's distance of Earth, soonest first, as of November 5, 2026; the closest, 2026 VP1 (Nov 5, 2026), should pass 0.55 Moon distances away. A value of 1 means as far away as the Moon, about 384,400 km; 0.5 means half that. Most are small rocks a few to a few dozen meters across, often found only days or weeks before they arrive, so the list changes daily as new ones are spotted. Distances are NASA's best estimates, measured from Earth's center.","topic":"Space","chart_type":"bar","ranking":false,"x_label":"Asteroid and date of its flyby","y_label":"Distance from Earth, in Moon distances","unit":null,"points_count":15,"source":{"name":"NASA/JPL Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), SBDB Close Approach Data","url":"https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/"},"license":{"name":"Public domain (NASA data); credit NASA/JPL-Caltech CNEOS","url":"https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/jpl-image-use-policy"},"data_as_of":"2026-11-05","updated_at":"2026-11-05T17:27:07.188Z","url":"https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys","api_url":"https://chart.ly/api/v1/charts/next-asteroid-flybys","csv_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys/data.csv","image_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys/image.png","embed_url":"https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys/embed","credit":"NASA/JPL Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), SBDB Close Approach Data, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys)","credit_html":"NASA/JPL Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), SBDB Close Approach Data, via \u003ca href=\"https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys\"\u003eChartly\u003c/a\u003e","average_label":null,"zero_axis":true,"data":[{"label":"2026 VP1 (Nov 5, 2026)","value":0.55},{"label":"2026 VV1 (Nov 5, 2026)","value":4.54},{"label":"2026 VF1 (Nov 5, 2026)","value":9.05},{"label":"2026 VN1 (Nov 6, 2026)","value":1.56},{"label":"2026 VK2 (Nov 8, 2026)","value":2.26},{"label":"2026 VB1 (Nov 8, 2026)","value":8.84},{"label":"2026 VY1 (Nov 8, 2026)","value":4.15},{"label":"2026 UG4 (Nov 8, 2026)","value":6.66},{"label":"2026 VW2 (Nov 8, 2026)","value":7.94},{"label":"2026 VO2 (Nov 8, 2026)","value":4.87},{"label":"2015 VH65 (Nov 10, 2026)","value":9.69},{"label":"2026 VK1 (Nov 10, 2026)","value":9.59},{"label":"2023 VF3 (Nov 11, 2026)","value":8.43},{"label":"2026 VX1 (Nov 11, 2026)","value":7.95},{"label":"2026 VO1 (Nov 13, 2026)","value":9.81}],"annotations":[]},"docs":"https://chart.ly/developers","terms":"Free to use with credit: wherever you show or quote a chart's data, name Chartly with a link to that chart's url (each chart's credit line does both) and credit its source as its license asks.","credit":"NASA/JPL Center for Near Earth Object Studies (CNEOS), SBDB Close Approach Data, via Chartly (https://chart.ly/charts/next-asteroid-flybys)"}
