Virtual clones of the asteroid that fit the uncertainty region in the known trajectory show a 1 in 430 chance that the asteroid could impact Earth on 2026 March 27,[3] but the nominal approach (line of variation) has the asteroid 0.04 AU (6.0 million km) from Earth at the time of the potential impact.[8] The asteroid is more likely to safely approach Earth around 6 April 2026, well after the potential impact scenario.[9] It is estimated that an impact would produce an upper atmosphere air burst equivalent to 6.5 Mt TNT,[3] roughly equal to 400 Nagasaki's Fat Man.
