Asteroid 2026 VO4 flew past Earth at 0.49 LD on November 4, 2026

Asteroid 2026 VO4 flew past Earth at 09:03 UTC on November 4, 2026, passing about 190 000 km (118 000 miles), or 0.49 LD, from the center of Earth.

NASA/JPL CNEOS close-approach data give an absolute magnitude (H) of 27.012 but no direct diameter range, while the relative velocity at close approach was 7.50 km/s (4.66 mi/s).

NASA/JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) lists 2026 VO4 as an Apollo-type near-Earth object, with listed orbital elements including an eccentricity of 0.413, a semi-major axis of 1.657 AU, a perihelion distance of 0.972 AU, and an inclination of 6.63°.

The database does not classify 2026 VO4 as potentially hazardous and lists no direct diameter or albedo value for the object.

2026 VO4 was first observed on November 2, 2026, and last observed on November 5, 2026. The orbit solution carries a condition code of 6, meaning the orbit is uncertain or preliminary.
