This report was generated at 2145 UTC with two discoveries announced late yesterday: outbound 2020 BW10 (MPEC) and already departed 2020 BY10 (MPEC), which slipped by us at about 4.3 LD on January 19th (uncertainty +/- 1.32 hours), and with a discovery from today, inbound 2020 BL11 (MPEC). Today's DOU MPEC has follow-up for inbound 2013 BA74 and six departed objects: 2020 BX9, 2020 BS1, 2020 BS, and including three risk-listed -- 2020 BK3, 2020 AY1, and 2019 YV1.

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.

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 Once superceded or eliminated, a former impact solution has zero relevance to an object's risk.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.
