Asteroid 2026 VD11 flew past Earth at 0.96 LD on November 10, 2026

Asteroid 2026 VD11 flew past Earth at 11:40 UTC on November 10, 2026, passing about 367 000 km (228 000 miles), or 0.96 LD, from the center of Earth.

NASA/JPL CNEOS close-approach data give an absolute magnitude (H) of 28.467 but no direct diameter range, while the relative velocity at close approach was 19.21 km/s (11.93 mi/s).

NASA/JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) lists 2026 VD11 as an Apollo-type near-Earth object, with listed orbital elements including an eccentricity of 0.628, a semi-major axis of 1.654 AU, a perihelion distance of 0.616 AU, and an inclination of 2.24°.

The database does not classify 2026 VD11 as potentially hazardous and lists no direct diameter or albedo value for the object.

2026 VD11 was first observed on November 11, 2026. The orbit solution carries a condition code of 9, meaning the orbit is uncertain or preliminary.

Other recent objects in the 1 LD watchlist included 2026 VC11, which will fly past Earth at 01:49 UTC on November 12 at 0.31 LD, and 2026 VS8, which flew past Earth at 13:48 UTC on November 11 at 0.77 LD. The same list also included 2026 VY8, which flew past Earth at 11:02 UTC on November 7 at 0.33 LD.
