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

2026 OD (2026 OD) How bigi Estimated from brightness and an assumed albedo. Radar or a spacecraft visit would tighten it.
90m
range 56–125 m
How closei LD = lunar distance (~384,400 km). The closest the object's path brings it to Earth's centre.
0.00LD
range ≈0 km
How fasti Velocity relative to Earth at closest approach.
0km/s
Compositioni Inferred from spectral type. Drives whether an impact would airburst or reach the ground.
Stony
range Stony (assumed)
If it hit — a scale comparison, not a forecast
How big is that, really?
Bus 12 m
20-storey tower 65 m
This object 90 m
Stadium 250 m
Eiffel Tower 330 m
Impact energyi Kinetic energy converted to TNT-equivalent, with the size and speed ranges propagated through.
17 Mt
range 4.1 Mt – 46 Mt
An object this size would reach the ground and excavate a crater. The figures below are a scale comparison — (2026 OD) is not on an impact trajectory.
Place it on a map in the simulator Can I see it?
Far too faint for the eye or amateur telescopes (mag ≈ 23.39). Tracked by professional surveys only.
Is it on a risk list?
Listed by the CNEOS / ESA monitoring systems. A listing reflects orbit uncertainty, not an expected impact — odds typically fall toward zero as observations accumulate.
