Asteroid 2026 VC11 will fly past Earth at 0.31 LD on November 12, 2026
Asteroid 2026 VC11 will fly past Earth at 01:49 UTC on November 12, 2026, passing about 119 000 km (74 000 miles), or 0.31 LD, from the center of Earth.
NASA/JPL CNEOS close-approach data give an absolute magnitude (H) of 29.464 but no direct diameter range, while the relative velocity at close approach was 9.70 km/s (6.03 mi/s).
NASA/JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) lists 2026 VC11 as an Apollo-type near-Earth object, with listed orbital elements including an eccentricity of 0.611, a semi-major axis of 2.476 AU, a perihelion distance of 0.962 AU, and an inclination of 4.46°.
The database does not classify 2026 VC11 as potentially hazardous and lists no direct diameter or albedo value for the object.
2026 VC11 was first observed on November 11, 2026. The orbit solution carries a condition code of 7, meaning the orbit is uncertain or preliminary.
