Asteroid 2026 PS7 flew past Earth at 0.84 LD on August 12, 2026
Asteroid 2026 PS7 flew past Earth at 06:21 UTC on August 12, 2026, passing about 325 000 km (202 000 miles), or 0.84 LD, from the center of Earth.
NASA/JPL CNEOS close-approach data give an absolute magnitude (H) of 28.869 but no direct diameter range, while the relative velocity at close approach was 4.74 km/s (2.94 mi/s).
NASA/JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) lists 2026 PS7 as an Apollo-type near-Earth object, with listed orbital elements including an eccentricity of 0.265, a semi-major axis of 1.372 AU, a perihelion distance of 1.009 AU, and an inclination of 2.67°.
The database does not classify 2026 PS7 as potentially hazardous and lists no direct diameter or albedo value for the object.
2026 PS7 was first observed on August 14, 2026. The orbit solution carries a condition code of 7, meaning the orbit is uncertain or preliminary.
