Each line is a pass four days either side of the closest point, from its orbit. Distances on a log scale; the solid ring is the Moon's orbit.
The bar starts at Earth; the tick is the Moon's distance. Orange ones pass inside the Moon's orbit.
Big enough to do regional damage if one ever hit. None of these will: the closest pass is still far outside the Moon.
No. Small asteroids pass between Earth and the Moon several times a month; most are only found days before. Anything under about 25 m burns up high in the atmosphere.
Sizes are estimated from brightness: a dark rock looks fainter than a bright one of the same size, so the range runs from a bright (smaller) to a dark (larger) surface.
The best-known close pass is 99942 Apophis, about 340 m across, which flies about 32,000 km above Earth's surface on 13 April 2029, closer than many satellites and visible to the naked eye.
