Asteroid
2015 XA378 passed by the Earth at a distance of 3 857 000 km (10.0times the average distance between the Earth and the Moon, or 3.40% of
the average distance between the Earth and the Sun),
slightly after 7.15 pm GMT on Saturday 19 December 2015. There was no
danger
of the asteroid
hitting us, though had it done so it would have presented only a minor
threat. 2015 XA378 has an estimated equivalent diameter of 14-43 m (i.e.
it is estimated that a spherical object with the same volume would be
14-43 m in diameter), and an object of this size would be expected to
explode in an airburst (an explosion caused by superheating from
friction with the Earth's atmosphere, which is greater than that caused
by simply falling, due to the orbital momentum of the asteroid) in the
atmosphere between 28 and 10 km above the ground, with only fragmentary
material reaching the Earth's surface.
2015 XA378 was discovered on 13 December 2015 (six days before its closest approach to the Earth) by the University of Hawaii's PANSTARRS telescope
on Mount Haleakala on Maui. The designation 2015 XA378 implies that it
was the 9451st asteroid (asteroid A378) discovered in the first half of December 2015 (period 2015 X).
2015 XA378 has a 910 day orbital period and an eccentric orbit tilted at an
angle of 0.23° to the plane of the Solar System that takes it from 0.65
AU from the Sun (i.e. 65% of the average distance at which the Earth
orbits the Sun and slightly less than the distance at which the planet Venus orbits the Sun) to 3.02 AU from the Sun (i.e. 302% of the average
distance at which the Earth orbits the Sun, slightly more than twice the
distance at which Mars orbits the Sun). It is therefore classed as an
Apollo Group Asteroid (an asteroid that is on average further from the
Sun than the Earth, but which does get closer).
