Close-Approach Date Date and time (TDB) of closest Earth approach distance. "Nominal Date" is given to appropriate precision. The 3-sigma uncertainty in the time is given in the +/- column in days_hours:minutes format (for example, "2_15:23" is 2 days, 15 hours, 23 minutes).
Miss Distance (LD,AU) The most likely (Nominal) and minimum possible (Minimum) miss distances are given in LD (Lunar Distance) and AU. The minimum possible distance is based on the 3-sigma Earth target-plane error ellipse.
V relative (km/s) Object velocity relative to Earth at close-approach in km/s.
V infinity (km/s) Object velocity relative to a massless Earth at close-approach in km/s.
N-sig The factor by which the target-plane error ellipse must be scaled to allow for an Earth grazing impact.
H (Vm) Asteroid absolute V-magnitude (in general, smaller H implies larger asteroid diameter). Undefined for comets.
(AU) Astronomical distance Unit: 1.0 AU is about 1.5x10^8 km (roughly the average distance between the Earth and the Sun).
(LD) Lunar Distance: 1.0 LD is about 3.84x10^5 km or 0.00257 AU (the average distance between the Earth and the Moon).
