2101 Adonis (1936 CA)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), 2101 Adonis (1936 CA) is a Not published by JPL SBDB body measuring between 600m and 600m in diameter. On 2036-02-07, it completes a cislunar approach at 13.89 Lunar Distances (5,340,368 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 23.77 km/s.
2101 Adonis (1936 CA) (JPL ID 2101) is a Not published by JPL SBDB Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 600.0m–600.0m (mean 600m). On 2036-02-07, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 13.893 Lunar Distances (5,340,368 km) with a relative velocity of 23.77 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 21763.76 megatons TNT. Classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) due to its Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID <= 0.05 AU) and absolute magnitude (H <= 22.0), it remains under high-priority radar and optical astrometric tracking.
