NOTE: These A/CC news pages will update less often for an extended period. All discoveries and observing credits will be reported, but we may miss some interim impact risk assessments and undercount NEOCP objects, and there may be some days without a traffic report for Earth's Busy Neighborhood.

Traffic Report on 12 July '18

Three objects reported inside ten LD

Three asteroids are known to be within ten lunar distances (LD) of our home world today. Nearest is intruder 2018 NX, which travels outward from 3.28 to 4.02 LD.

Neighborhood Traffic - sorted by Earth passage distance, grouped by 1.0, 2.41, 5.0 & 10.0 LD boundaries
Earth passage	I D	~Size	Distance today	Inside ten LD	Notes
0.30 LD July 7	2018 NX	10 m	3.28 to 4.02 LD	June 24 - July 21	intruder, NHATS target

1.40 LD July 17	2018 NM	18 m	6.48 from 7.95 LD	July 10 - 23	NHATS target
2.37 LD July 7	2018 NJ	9 m	7.06 to 8.33 LD	June 29 - July 14	NHATS target, risk

Approaching - sorted by 10-LD bubble entry date
9.36 LD Aug. 27	2018 LQ2	39 m	15.37 from 15.52 LD	Aug. 17 - Sept. 6	NHATS target
4.22 LD Aug. 29	1998 SD9	49 m	137.32 from 141.88 LD	Aug. 25 - Sept. 2

This report was generated at 2138 UTC with follow-up in today's DOU MPEC for departed objects 1999 FN19, 441987 2010 NY65, and risk-listed 2018 NL.

Notes: Ten times the distance to the Moon (ten LD) has no astronomical importance but is a useful boundary for reporting about transient natural objects that approach our planet's gravitational sphere of influence (SOI), which has a radius of about 2.41 LD from Earth's center. This puts a focus on some of the most important and very best NEO observation work, representative of the much larger NEO discovery and tracking effort. Object temporal distances are derived by A/CC from JPL Horizons data. See also current sky chart and object details (alt-details), ephemerides, and today's timeline.

NEOCP Activity on 12 July '18

The MPC's NEO Confirmation Page has 69 listings

When last checked at 2311 UTC today, the Minor Planet Center's Near Earth Object discovery Confirmation Page (NEOCP) had 69 objects listed. Of these, 46 were "one nighters." So far The Tracking News has counted a total of 85 listings on the NEOCP today.

To learn how observers use the NEOCP, see the Practical guide on how to observe NEOCP object at Suno Observatory by Birtwhistle et al.

Impact Risk Monitoring on 12 July '18

**Summary Risk Table for Risk Assessments Updated Today** (last checks: NEODyS at 2311 UTC)
See the CRT page for a list of all objects rated recently as risks and our ephemerides page for a list of risk-listed objects under current observation.
The time horizon for JPL is 100 years from today and for NEODyS is usually the year 2090. Both also post impact solutions beyond 100 years for a few special objects.
For the latest official risk assessments, and for explanations of the terminology, see the NASA/JPL Sentry and NEODyS CLOMON2 risk pages.

An impact solution, also known as a "virtual impactor" (VI), is not a prediction but rather a possibility derived from a variant orbit calculation that cannot be eliminated yet based on the existing data. Elimination can come quickly with just a little further observation or may take weeks or months, sometimes years. Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk. See Jon Giorgini's "Understanding Risk Pages" to learn more.
