2025 DN6

2025 DN6 belongs to the Apollo group of near-Earth asteroids, whose orbits cross the path of Earth; with a semi-major axis of 1.351 AU it takes 1.57 yr to circle the Sun.

Orbit and dynamics

Between its closest point (0.96 AU) and its farthest (1.743 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by 0.783 AU over every revolution.

One full revolution takes 1.57 yr (574 days), computed from the semi-major axis of 1.351 AU.

An eccentricity of 0.29 makes the orbit moderately elongated.

Its inclination of 2.92° keeps it close to the plane of the ecliptic.

By the vis-viva equation its orbital speed rises to 34.5 km/s at perihelion and falls to 19 km/s at aphelion.

Because q < 1 AU and Q > 1 AU, this orbit geometrically intersects the region of Earth's orbit.

Size and surface

Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for 2025 DN6, so its physical size remains unconstrained.

Observation record and orbit quality

Astrometry from 26 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.5328 arcseconds.

Condition code U = 6 indicates a moderately constrained orbit; predictions decades ahead still carry noticeable uncertainty.

About these computed values

Orbital periods, perihelion and aphelion speeds, and diameter estimates on this page are computed by SpaceAtlas from the JPL SBDB orbital elements. They are derived quantities, not values copied from the source catalogue.
