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

DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 21P/
 Giacobini-Zinner\, and the debris burns up at 20 km/s. Under a genuinely d
 ark sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 5 meteors an hour 
 — a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright 
 moon fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back t
 o Draco\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is u
 sually almost nothing\, and about once a generation a storm of thousands a
 n hour\; the slowest meteors of any shower\, and the only major one best w
 atched in the evening rather than after midnight.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.

 tivity at a handful an hour\, made worth watching by the fireballs — slo
 w\, orange and bright enough to cast a shadow. The radiant drifts right ac
 ross the sky over those weeks\, from Cetus in September into Taurus in Nov
 ember\, so the shower is named for where it ends up rather than where it i

SUMMARY:Quadrantids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 1962
 56 (2003 EH₁)\, and the debris burns up at 41 km/s. Under a genuinely da
 rk sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 110 meteors an hour 
 — a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright 
 moon fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back t
 o Boötes\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is
  the sharpest maximum of any shower — the good hours are about six wide\
 , so the peak either falls on your night or it does not.\n\nhttps://spacec

SUMMARY:137108 (1999 AN10) passes at 1.0 lunar distances
DESCRIPTION:137108 (1999 AN10)\, somewhere between 653 m and 1.5 km across 
 depending on how dark its surface is\, makes its closest approach to Earth
  at 1.0 lunar distances (390 000 km)\, moving past at 26.28 km/s. At magni
 tude 7.8 it is a binocular object\, moving fast enough across the stars to
  watch it move. A pass at this range is ordinary rather than alarming — 
 it is the reason the object is tracked\, not a reason to worry about it.\n

SUMMARY:Perseids at maximum
DESCRIPTION:The Earth crosses the densest part of a dust trail left by 109P
 /Swift-Tuttle\, and the debris burns up at 59 km/s. Under a genuinely dark
  sky with the radiant overhead this is worth about 100 meteors an hour —
  a real sky and a real radiant altitude will give fewer\, and a bright moo
 n fewer still. Meteors appear all over the sky\; they only trace back to P
 erseus\, which is where to point a camera and not where to stare. It is th
 e reliable one\, and the one that falls in the northern hemisphere's warme
 st nights — bright\, fast\, and often leaving persistent trains.\n\nhttp

SUMMARY:Penumbral lunar eclipse
DESCRIPTION:The Moon passes through the soft outer edge of Earth's shadow\,
  not the dark core of it. The whole disc dims slightly and unevenly — en
 ough to notice in a photograph taken before and after\, and easy to miss b
 y eye.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2027-08

SUMMARY:2017 QW17 passes at 17.8 lunar distances
DESCRIPTION:2017 QW17\, somewhere between 126 m and 281 m across depending 
 on how dark its surface is\, makes its closest approach to Earth at 17.8 l
 unar distances (6.8 million km)\, moving past at 19.86 km/s. At magnitude 
 17.4 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 
 alarming — it is the reason the object is tracked\, not a reason to worr
 y about it.\n\nhttps://spacecatalog.org/calendar#2027-08
