On February 15, 2013, DA14 will pass no closer than 0.000181 AU (27,100 km; 16,800 mi) from the center-point of the Earth,[9] which is no closer to the Earth's surface than 3.2 Earth radii.[4] The nominal pass will be 0.00023 AU (34,000 km; 21,000 mi) from the center-point of the Earth.[9] This is potentially closer than satellites in geosynchronous orbit. The asteroid will not be visible to the naked eye.[4] Due to the uncertainty in the observation arc of 79 days, there is a small possibility that the asteroid will pass 0.00035 AU (52,000 km; 33,000 mi) from the Earth on February 15, 2013.[9]
