2019 OD will move across our planet at a minimum distance of 353,650km, while the distance between the Moon and Earth is 384,400km. In addition to 2019 OD, two other meteorites also rushed closer to Earth on the same day, NASA's Center for Near-Earth Research (CNEOS) said.

The 2015 Meteorite HM10 is about 110m long and is flying at 34,235km / h. 2015 HM10 is bigger than the Statue of Liberty. It is expected that it will reach Earth at a distance of 4,667,098km. This meteorite was first observed on April 18, 2015. According to flight records, HM10 will often drop by Earth and neighboring Jupiter.

The last meteorite approaching the Earth is 2019 OE . It has a speed of about 32,186km. Compared to the two meteorites above, 2019 OE is much smaller with an estimated diameter of 53m. Based on data collected by CNEOS, 2019 OE will be 966,411 km from Earth.
