Mar 12, 1998 · Asteroid 1997 XF11 will pass well beyond the Moon's distance from Earth in October 2028 with a zero probability of impacting the planet, according to astronomers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA.
These latest computations show that the nominal miss distance will be 600 thousand miles on 2028 Oct. 26 around 2:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time. Although the chances for an actual collision with the earth in 2028 can now be discounted, the orbit of 1997 XF 11 will continue to come close to the orbit of the earth for the forseeable future ...
Mar 11, 1998 · The orbit of the massive asteroid, known as 1997 XF11, was posted today on the Internet by the International Astronomical Union. At about 1:30 p.m. Eastern time on 26 October 2028, the chunk of rock will almost certainly pass closer to Earth than the moon. But don't bet on Armageddon, observers say.
Oct 25, 2019 · NASA's CNEOS suggests that 1997 XF11 will make its close approach with the earth on October 26, 2028. As per the space agency, during this close flyby, this space body will be approximately...
Additional precovery observations of the asteroid from 1990 were quickly found that refined the orbit and it is now known the asteroid will pass Earth on 26 October 2028, at a distance of 929,000 km (2.42 LD).
Apr 20, 1999 · 20 Apr 1999. By Govert Schilling. Share: A year ago, astronomers announced that asteroid 1997 XF11 might hit the earth in October 2028, then retracted their prediction 24 hours later. Now a new "doomsday asteroid" is generating a lot of excitement--and some anger.
