(2013 VO5)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), (2013 VO5) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs body measuring between 142.09m and 317.72m in diameter. On 2026-11-11, it completes a cislunar approach at 53.56 Lunar Distances (20,596,821 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 27.47 km/s.
(2013 VO5) (JPL ID 3653537) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 142.1m–317.7m (mean 229.9m). On 2026-11-11, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 53.558 Lunar Distances (20,596,821 km) with a relative velocity of 27.47 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 1635.62 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.
