164294 (2004 XZ130)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), 164294 (2004 XZ130) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs body measuring between 216.05m and 483.1m in diameter. On 2026-11-04, it completes a cislunar approach at 76.34 Lunar Distances (29,359,842.5 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 11.17 km/s.
164294 (2004 XZ130) (JPL ID 2164294) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 216.1m–483.1m (mean 349.6m). On 2026-11-04, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 76.345 Lunar Distances (29,359,843 km) with a relative velocity of 11.17 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 950.36 megatons TNT. Its well-constrained heliocentric ephemeris passes safely outside Earth capture corridors while serving as an orbital calibration target.
