The European Space Agency’s Near Earth Object Coordination Centre recently highlighted notable NEOs making astronomically close passes of Earth this fall, including 2006 WB. 2006 WB is estimated to have a diameter of about 100 meters and is expected to reach as close as a little more than twice the distance from Earth to the Moon on Nov. 26. Another asteroid, 2010 WS, zoomed by closer to Earth last week, and their size estimates overlap.
As technology has improved, so has finding and tracking NEOs entering Earth’s neighborhood. The ESA said October was a banner month for NEO discoveries, with more than 450 new objects identified, the most for any month this year.Asteroid 2006 WM is considered a stadium-sized object, but even that is an estimate. According to NASA’s NEO database, it could be larger, over 500 feet, or smaller. Recently, small asteroids have been discovered just hours before impacting Earth.
