Close Moon
Distance from the Moon: nominal closest approach
The nominal three-dimensional object-to-Moon minimum is searched independently within 30 days before and after the established geocentric Earth-minimum time. The coarse scan uses three-hour steps inside five lunar distances and progressively larger six-, twelve-, or twenty-four-hour steps for objects farther outside the Moon's orbit, where Earth distance already supplies a strong lower bound; the best interval is then continuously refined. Moon and Earth positions come from the local DE440 kernel; object positions use the nominal local orbit. LD is the mean Earth-Moon distance. The time offset is measured from the established Earth-minimum time. Rows are published only after the independent nominal-distance agreement check; failed checks are omitted rather than presented with false precision.
