Distance from Earth
The distance of Near Earth Object 2022 OB5 from Earth is currently
The following graph shows the distance of Near Earth Object 2022 OB5 from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance is measured in Astronomical Units and the data is sampled with an interval of 1 day.
Note: The values in this chart may not be entirely accurate around the time of closest approach for objects passing very close to Earth at high speed (e.g., Near-Earth Objects).
Closest Approach to Earth
During the next 10 years, the closest approach of Near Earth Object 2022 OB5 to Earth will happen on Wednesday 14 January 2026 at a distance of 0.004314 Astronomical Units, or 645,386 kilometers:
Light Curve
The following chart shows the light curve of Near Earth Object 2022 OB5, i.e., its apparent magnitude as a function of time. The curve is calculated using the latest ephemerides provided by JPL Horizons. The magnitude data is sampled with the interval of 2 days. Because of this sampling, inaccuracies may occur for objects that have large variations of brightness over a few days. For comets, large discrepancies can arise between the calculated brightness and the observations due to their highly dynamic, and not always precisely predictable, behavior.
15 Days Ephemeris
The following table lists the ephemerides of Near Earth Object 2022 OB5 computed for the past and next 7 days, with a 24 hours interval. Apparent celestial coordinates are provided.
