The following table shows close approaches to the Earth by near-Earth objects (NEOs) limited as selected in the “Table Settings” below. Data are not available prior to 1900 A.D nor after 2200 A.D. Data are further limited to encounters with https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/ca/neo_ca_info.html

When it comes to a "dangerously close" object that is likely to hit the earth in the near future, no or very little information will be given.

Sure close, but they never seem to hit the earth.

Just my luck.

Random Asteroid 2020!

And use up all my luck?

No thanks, saving that for the asteroid.
