    2010 JL88 is an unnumbered asteroid, classified as a near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 19 meters in diameter. [2] It was first observed by the Siding Spring Survey, Australia, on 15 May 2010. It is known to be the fastest rotator with an unambiguous period solution, having an exceptionally rapid rotation period of less than 25 seconds. [4] [8]

    On May 17, 2010, it passed 0.00257  AU (384,000  km ) from Earth. [4] It is on the lower of the Sentry Risk Table. [1]

    Earth impact possibility

    2010 JL88 has an Earth minimum orbit intersection distance of 0.45 Lunar Distances [9] However, it only has a 1 in 1,449,000 (0.000069%) chance of impacting into Earth sometime after 2049. [1] Even if it did impact, 2010 JL88 is so small that it would simply disintegrate in a manner similar to the Chelyabinsk meteor. [10]

    Rotation

    The asteroid was found to have a rapid rotation by the Magdalena Ridge Observatory's 2.4-meter telescope. It rotates at an extremely rapid rate of 24.5 seconds. 2010 JL88 is the second fastest natural rotating object discovered in the Solar System, [8] after 2014 RC, which has a period of 16 seconds but still an uncertain period solution.

    (29075) 1950 DA, provisional designation 1950 DA, is a risk-listed asteroid, classified as a near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, approximately 1.1 kilometers in diameter. It once had the highest known probability of impacting Earth. In 2002, it had the highest Palermo rating with a value of 0.17 for a possible collision in 2880. Since that time, the estimated risk has been updated several times. In December 2015, the odds of an Earth impact were revised to 1 in 8,300 (0.012%) with a Palermo rating of −1.42. As of 2022, It is listed on the Sentry Risk Table with the second highest cumulative Palermo rating of −2.05. 1950 DA is not assigned a Torino scale rating, because the 2880 date is over 100 years in the future.

    <span class="mw-page-title-main">2018 BD</span>

    2018 BD is a small asteroid and near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 2–6 meters (7–20 ft) in diameter. It was first observed on 18 January 2018, by astronomers of the Catalina Sky Survey at Mount Lemmon Observatory, Arizona, United States, just hours before passing about 0.10 lunar distances from the Earth.

    2020 HS7 is a very small asteroid classified as a near-Earth object of the Earth-crossing Apollo group. When it was discovered by the Pan-STARRS 2 survey on 27 April 2020, the asteroid was initially calculated to have a 10% chance of impact with Earth before being ruled out by improved orbit determinations from additional observations. Although there is now no risk of impact with Earth, it did make a close approach 42,700 kilometres (26,500 mi) from Earth on 28 April 2020, with a flyby speed of 15.6 kilometres per second (9.7 mi/s) relative to Earth. The asteroid will not make any close encounters within 1 lunar distance (380,000 km; 240,000 mi) of Earth in the next 100 years.

    <span class="nowrap">2016 DV<sub>1</sub></span> Apollo near-Earth asteroid

    2016 DV1 is a near-Earth asteroid estimated to be roughly 29–65 meters (95–210 feet) in diameter. It is a fast rotating asteroid of the Apollo group which was first observed by the Mount Lemmon Survey on 28 February 2016, just days before it passed Earth at 1 lunar distance (LD) on 3 March 2016. The elongated fast rotator has a rotation period of 303 seconds. It was recovered in February 2021 as it was about to pass Earth on 3 March 2021 at a distance of 0.0053 AU (2.1 LD; 790,000 km; 490,000 mi).

    2020 SW is a tiny near-Earth asteroid discovered by the Mount Lemmon Survey on 18 September 2020, six days before it made its closest approach to Earth. The asteroid passed within 21,600 kilometres (13,400 mi) from Earth's surface on 24 September 2020 11:13 UT, within the geostationary altitude of 36,000 kilometres (22,000 mi). The encounter with Earth perturbed the asteroid's heliocentric trajectory from an Apollo-type orbit to an Aten-type orbit with a semi-major axis within one astronomical unit from the Sun. As a result, the asteroid will not make any close approaches to Earth within 0.01 astronomical units (4 LD) in the next 200 years.

    2021 DW1 is a small Apollo near-Earth asteroid discovered on 16 February 2021 by the Pan-STARRS 1 survey at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii. On 4 March 2021 at 8:59 UTC, it passed 1.48 LD (570,000 km; 350,000 mi) from Earth. During the close approach, it trailed across the Northern Hemisphere sky and brightened up to apparent magnitude of 14.6. Extensive observations of 2021 DW1 during the encounter revealed that it is an elongated, stony asteroid approximately 30 metres (100 ft) in diameter, with a rapid rotation period of 50 seconds. The asteroid's spin axis is unusually oblique relative to its orbital plane, contrary to predictions from the YORP effect.
