(2013 GA80)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), (2013 GA80) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs body measuring between 133.22m and 297.88m in diameter. On 2026-11-04, it completes a cislunar approach at 147.75 Lunar Distances (56,821,340.2 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 17.84 km/s.
(2013 GA80) (JPL ID 3634847) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 133.2m–297.9m (mean 215.6m). On 2026-11-04, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 147.753 Lunar Distances (56,821,340 km) with a relative velocity of 17.84 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 568.99 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.
