These objects are tracked and are NOT on a collision course with Earth. “If it hits” is a hypothetical to show scale.

How bigiEstimated from brightness and an assumed albedo. Radar or a spacecraft visit would tighten it.
122m
range 75–168 m
How closeiLD = lunar distance (~384,400 km). The closest the object's path brings it to Earth's centre.

range ≈0 km
How fastiVelocity relative to Earth at closest approach.
0km/s
CompositioniInferred from spectral type. Drives whether an impact would airburst or reach the ground.

An object this size would reach the ground and excavate a crater. The figures below are a scale comparison — (2026 MP1) is not on an impact trajectory.
Far too faint for the eye or amateur telescopes (mag ≈ 22.74). Tracked by professional surveys only.
Is it on a risk list?
monitored
Listed by the CNEOS / ESA monitoring systems. A listing reflects orbit uncertainty, not an expected impact — odds typically fall toward zero as observations accumulate.
