Close Approach of (2100) Ra-Shalom - PMSchu - 2025-08-24
I missed the close approach of this kilometer-sized Aten class NEO, (2100) Ra-Shalom, on 2025-Aug-12 15:42±<00:01 UT at a distance of 0.17290 AU moving with V Relative=12.22 km/sec, H=16.2 magnitude, diameter 2.3±0.2 km and 'Rarity'=1. As of August 24 there is a 18222 day observation arc, the Condition Code=0 and the Earth MOID=0.15004 AU. The solution date was 2025-Aug-24 06:51:49 PDT. This NEO was discovered 1978-09-10 by Helin, E. F. at Palomar.
It's currently 14.7 magnitude and fading slowly traveling through Sagitta at 5"/minute. It is predicted to remain brighter than 16 magnitude through 2025 Sep 15 when it will be in Aquila.
