Flarient Concern Assessment
A noteworthiness score based on closeness, size, velocity and observability. This is not an impact risk score — check NASA Sentry for impact probability.
Physical Parameters
Orbit Uncertainty & Observations
Orbit has moderate uncertainty (U=6) — expect position errors of several arcminutes. Use Horizons for the latest ephemeris.
Orbital Elements
Full designation: (2026 PX)
MOID (Earth): 0.003950 AU — inside PHA threshold
MOID (Jupiter): 3.560 AU
Risk Assessment
This object is small enough to burn up in Earth's atmosphere. No ground impact risk.
Close-Approach History
