Near-Earth asteroid September 2020 yes #FFC2E0 (177049) 2003 EE 16 Spacewatch Kitt Peak National Obs. 8 March 2003 (177049) 2003 EE 16 NEOPHAApollo 13 January 2016 (JD 2457400.5) 2.2878 AU Gm on on 0.54666 AU Gm on 1.4172 AU Gm on 0.61427 1.69 yr (616.24 d) 0.64964° 127.04° 296.40° 259.67° 0.320 km 5.110 kg (assumed) 19.7 0.58419 ms / day 4429 days (12.13 yr) 17 May 2002 0 9.93475E-5 AU km on (177049) 2003 EE 16 is an Apollo near-Earth asteroid and potentially hazardous object. It was discovered on 8 March 2003 by LPL/Spacewatch II at an apparent magnitude of 20 using a 1.8 m in on us reflecting telescope. It has an estimated diameter of 320 m us. The asteroid was listed on Sentry Risk Table with a Torino Scale rating of 1 on 2 April 2003. Description Many of the virtual impactors were located near the nominal orbital solution and the asteroid has a low inclination relative to Earth's orbit. Observation by the Very Large Telescope (VLT) 8 meter facilities on 22 May and 19 June 2003 when 2003 EE 16 was very dim with an apparent magnitude between 24–25At an apparent magnitude of 24, the asteroid was roughly 10 million times fainter than can be seen with the naked eye.Math: refined the orbit. It was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 28 May 2003. 2003 EE 16 has the smallest Earth Minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) of any known potentially hazardous asteroid. The Earth MOID is 0.0000475 AU km mi on on. Asteroids with a smaller Earth MOID are less than ~100 meters in diameter such as 2013 XY 8 and 2010 TD 54. Earth impactors 2008 TC 3 and 2014 AA had small Earth MOID values as they were on their impact approach when discovered. +Close-approaches to Earth Date Distance from Earth 2014-07-01 0.0966 AU km mi on on (37.6 LD) 2041-07-01 0.0992 AU km mi on off (38.6 LD) 2067-01-31 0.0874 AU km mi on off (34.0 LD) 2094-01-30 0.0747 AU km mi on off (29.1 LD) 2122-07-04 0.0743 AU km mi on off (28.9 LD) 2149-07-06 0.0518 AU km mi on off (20.2 LD) 2175-02-02 0.0802 AU km mi on off (31.2 LD) Notes "note" References 2013-03-12 last obs and observation arc=10.8 years JPL Small-Body Database Browser: 177049 (2003 EE16) https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2003EE16 Jet Propulsion Laboratory 7 April 2016 MPEC 2003-E34 : 2003 EE16 IAU Minor Planet Center 2003-03-09 https://minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K03/K03E34.html 2014-02-03 (K03E16E) 2003-04-02 http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/ Current Impact Risks (2003 EE16) Near-Earth Object Program NASA dead https://web.archive.org/web/20030402122939/http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/ April 2, 2003 2003-07-15 http://spaceguard.iasf-roma.inaf.it/SSystem/NEOCS/2003ee16.html https://web.archive.org/web/20140221232048/http://spaceguard.iasf-roma.inaf.it/SSystem/NEOCS/2003ee16.html dead 2014-02-21 2003 EE16 Spaceguard Central Node 2014-02-03 Date/Time Removed NASA/JPL Near-Earth Object Program Office http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/removed.html https://web.archive.org/web/20020602101400/http://neo.jpl.nasa.gov/risk/removed.html dead 2002-06-02 2014-02-03 2013-03-12 last obs and observation arc=10.8 years JPL Close-Approach Data: 177049 (2003 EE16) https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb.cgi?sstr=2003EE16;cad=1#cad 2014-02-03 JPL Small-Body Database Search Engine: H <= 22 (mag) and Earth MOID < 0.0027 (AU) JPL Solar System Dynamics http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/sbdb_query.cgi?obj_group=all;obj_kind=all;obj_numbered=all;OBJ_field=0;ORB_field=0;combine_mode=AND;c1_group=OBJ;c1_item=Ai;c1_op=%3C%3D;c1_value=22;c2_group=ORB;c2_item=Bt;c2_op=%3C;c2_value=0.0027;table_format=HTML;max_rows=100;format_option=comp;c_fields=AcBhBgBjBiBnBsCjCpAiBt;.cgifields=format_option;.cgifields=obj_kind;.cgifields=obj_group;.cgifields=obj_numbered;.cgifields=combine_mode;.cgifields=ast_orbit_class;.cgifields=table_format;.cgifields=com_orbit_class&query=1&c_sort=BtA 2013-02-03 External links 177049 177049 2003EE16 177049 177049 (177049) 2003 EE 16 177049 177049 177049 177049 20140701 20030308
