SUMMARY:2026 OH3 passes at 12.3 lunar distances
DESCRIPTION:2026 OH3\, somewhere between 142 m and 318 m across depending o
 n how dark its surface is\, makes its closest approach to Earth at 12.3 lu
 nar distances (4.7 million km)\, moving past at 20.17 km/s. At magnitude 2
 2.0 it is far below anything an amateur telescope reaches — this one is 
 a fact rather than a sight. A pass at this range is ordinary rather than a
 larming — it is the reason the object is tracked\, not a reason to worry
  about it.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2026-09

SUMMARY:506074 Svarog (2015 UM67) passes at 19.0 lunar distances
DESCRIPTION:506074 Svarog (2015 UM67)\, 665 m across\, makes its closest ap
 proach to Earth at 19.0 lunar distances (7.3 million km)\, moving past at 
 22.41 km/s. At magnitude 15.2 it is far below anything an amateur telescop
 e reaches — this one is a fact rather than a sight. A pass at this range
  is ordinary rather than alarming — it is the reason the object is track
