Close Moon
Distance from the Moon: nominal closest approach
All 82 objects from Close Earth are listed here. Both minima use the same MPC nominal orbit, geometric positions at the same instant, and the same interval: 30 days before and after the separate Find_Orb reference encounter. All sampled local minimum brackets are refined. Earth and Moon positions use DE440. LD is the mean Earth-Moon distance. The time offset is measured from the new same-model Earth minimum, not the separate Find_Orb reference.
Same-model is not orbit confirmation: a short observation arc can admit very different orbits. The former single-distance comparison could accept incompatible trajectories and is not used as confirmation of these minima. The status tooltip retains the source comparison and search window. All available distances remain visible. Variant envelope is the same full variant spread as Close Earth at its nominal Earth-minimum epoch, not an independently optimized lunar envelope. Legacy entries lacking same-model status have not yet been recomputed on this basis.
