(2014 UV115)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), (2014 UV115) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs body measuring between 75.95m and 169.84m in diameter. On 2026-11-04, it completes a cislunar approach at 48.19 Lunar Distances (18,533,516.4 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 23.73 km/s.
(2014 UV115) (JPL ID 3694786) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 76.0m–169.8m (mean 122.9m). On 2026-11-04, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 48.193 Lunar Distances (18,533,516 km) with a relative velocity of 23.73 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 186.43 megatons TNT. Its well-constrained heliocentric ephemeris passes safely outside Earth capture corridors while serving as an orbital calibration target.
