Asteroid 2026 VO5 flew past Earth at 0.49 LD on November 4, 2026

Asteroid 2026 VO5 flew past Earth at 17:05 UTC on November 4, 2026, passing about 186 000 km (115 000 miles), or 0.49 LD, from the center of Earth.

NASA/JPL CNEOS close-approach data give an absolute magnitude (H) of 25.694 but no direct diameter range, while the relative velocity at close approach was 8.75 km/s (5.44 mi/s).

NASA/JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) lists 2026 VO5 as an Apollo-type near-Earth object, with listed orbital elements including an eccentricity of 0.468, a semi-major axis of 1.831 AU, a perihelion distance of 0.974 AU, and an inclination of 7.94°.

The database does not classify 2026 VO5 as potentially hazardous and lists no direct diameter or albedo value for the object.

2026 VO5 was first observed on November 7, 2026. The orbit solution carries a condition code of 8, meaning the orbit is uncertain or preliminary.
