EBN columns description

With kind permission of Bill Allen of Earth's BUSY Neighborhood EBN, objects currently, recent, or approaching Earth are labeled according to the tables listed on EBN.

Those objects that are listed by EBN in the categories current < 10LD, approaching < 10LD, gone < 10LD and < 1LD this passage are marked with an X or S in the columns on the right.
Objects marked S are currently included in JPL's Sentry page, so are among the objects with a high risk of impacting Earth.

A click on the blue marked link at the top right leads directly to the EBN page.

Explanation of the columns in the list

The columns in the list are explained in the Object Information screen.

In order to facilitate the selection of the NEO to be observed, this window can be used to sort the list according to the columns "last observation", "Earth MOID", "H", flyby date "or flyby distance fields.
The absolute brightness H of the object is analogous to its diameter, so that only the sorting of H is necessary here.
The ESA priority list 0 - 3 has been integrated, displayed in Object Information and NEO Ranking in column # opp/ESA.
This example shows a sorting according to Earth MOID ascending.

EBN hints X, S

With a double click on an object, the corresponding pages of the MPC, JPL are displayed. With S, the Sentry CNEOS page of the JPL is also displayed.
