I am not aware of anything that is predicted to pass near the Earth in 2030.
The asteroid Apophis is predicted to make a very close approach to the Earth on April 13, 2029 (which is, by sheerest coincidence, Friday the 13th), coming within ab0out 15,000 miles of the Earth. This is actually closer to the Earth than most communications satellites! However, scientists are certain that it will not strike the Earth.
Seven years later, on April 13, 2036, the asteroid Apophis will again come close to the Earth; there is a VERY small chance that it will hit us on that pass.
However, there are many small objects that remain undetected in the solar system. Last week, in mid-November 2009, a 15-meter asteroid passed within a few thousand miles of the Earth. It was detected only 15 hours before its closest approach. A year ago, an asteroid about 20 meters in diameter was detected 18 hours before it impacted the Earth over East Africa. And last month, a small asteroid struck the atmosphere and exploded about 50 miles up.
The Earth is struck by thousands of meteoroids every hour of the day, totalling several TONS per day. Most vaporize without reaching the ground, becoming dust. A few survive the strike the ground, but only rarely do they cause any damage.
What else can I help you with?
What objects approach the earth very closely?
meteors pass through earth's atmosphere and if they are large enough to not burn up they hit the earth becoming meteorites, that is about as close as is possible
What planets do you past to get to the moon?
You don't pass any. There' nothing in space between Earth and moon except maybe a few meteoroids. The planet that is able to come closest to Earth is Venus. When Venus is as close to Earth as it can ever get, it's more than 100 times farther away than the moon ever is.
What significance does the date August 2027 have for asteroid 2015 TB145 and Earth?
August 2027 has no particular significance for that asteroid. In August 2027 an object called 1999 AN10 will pass close to Earth and be the biggest since 2015 TB145.
Why was the Hale-Bopp comet special?
The Hale-Bopp comet is relatively rare - it only passes close to the Earth once every 76 years. In the last pass, there were several groups that felt there were supernatural or mystical properties of the comet. Some of these groups were covered by the media, although I don't believe anything horrible happened.
How close does an asteroid have to be sucked into earths gravitational pull?
There is no real distance at which this occurs. Asteroids are generally moving too fast to be simply pulled in by earth's gravity, though their paths can be altered. As evidence of this, ab object that is simply pulled in by Earth's gravity would strike the surface at close to escape velocity, which is about 25,000 mph for Earth. Most asteroids are moving much faster. In many cases, a collision happens when an orbital resonance develops. Earth's gravity periodically jostles the asteroid's path so that it will pass fairly close to earth at regular intervals until that paths intersect and a collision occurs.
Can you pass wind on Mars?
Within reason you can do anything on Mars which you can do on the Earth.
What is a safe distance for an asteroid to pass by Earth?
The old saying "a miss is as good as a mile", although if an asteroid were to pass within about 300 miles of the Earth, it would definitely be "too close for comfort"! A "safe" distance might be anything greater than about 25,000 miles, which would prevent it from colliding with our geosynchronous satellites as well.
Can you see earth by head up from moon?
I imagine so, near the lunar equator the Earth will pass close to directly overhead.
Why asteroids frequently visit earth?
Asteroids frequently visit Earth because many of them pass very close to the Earth's orbit around the Sun. ~E. Plaga

What is the gravitional pull on the Earth in miles exerted by other planets. How much closer do we get to the sun when Earth is close to Venus as they pass?
well look in the damn dicktionary!
When is the next halleys comment due to pass the earth?
We expect the only Halley's Comet there is to return to the inner solar system in 2061. That means it'll get close enough to the sun so that we can see it, but we can't tell yet exactly how close to earth it's likely to get.
When did Halley's comet most recently pass around the sun?
Halley's Comet is still orbiting the Sun. It was close to Earth in 1986.
Was halleys comet 10 miles from the earth in 1961?
No. in 1961 the comet was way out in the solar system, the recent close approaches were in 1910 and 1986 - non of there were as close as 10 miles from the nucleus, although Earth did pass through the comets tail in 1910.

What is the reason why do we not have an eclipse every month?
For example, for a lunar eclipse, the Moon has to get into Earth's shadow. However, most of the times the Moon will pass north or south of Earth's shadow. It will get close enough of Earth's shadow only near the intersection of the Ecliptic, and the Moon's orbit around Earth.
