Planetary Defense Frequently Asked Questions (Schema.org FAQ)
How big is 1221 Amor (1932 EA1) compared to city landmarks?
1221 Amor (1932 EA1) has an estimated diameter between 880m and 1050m. At its upper-bound size of 1050m, it stands 237% as tall as the 443m Empire State Building in New York City and 318% of the 330m Eiffel Tower.
What does the stored 2026-11-02 close-approach estimate show?
This catalog snapshot lists a nominal miss distance of 24.50 Lunar Distances (9,417,800 km) for 1221 Amor (1932 EA1). This is not an impact prediction; check the latest NASA JPL record for updated orbital estimates. The 3D impact simulation is hypothetical.
