138175 (2000 EE104)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), 138175 (2000 EE104) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs body measuring between 212.11m and 474.29m in diameter. On 2026-11-08, it completes a cislunar approach at 35.55 Lunar Distances (13,672,704.6 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 7.28 km/s.
138175 (2000 EE104) (JPL ID 2138175) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 212.1m–474.3m (mean 343.2m). On 2026-11-08, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 35.553 Lunar Distances (13,672,705 km) with a relative velocity of 7.28 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 381.53 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.
