Distance from Earth
The distance of Euclid Observatory from Earth is currently
The following graph shows the distance of Euclid Observatory from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance is measured in Astronomical Units and the data is sampled with an interval of 1 day.
Note: The values in this chart may not be entirely accurate around the time of closest approach for objects passing very close to Earth at high speed (e.g., Near-Earth Objects).
The value of the distance of Euclid Observatory from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the live position tracker.
Closest Approach to Earth
In the period between July 2, 2023 and September 6, 2031, the closest approach of Euclid Observatory to Earth happened on Sunday 2 July 2023 at a distance of 0.000738 Astronomical Units, or 110,466 kilometers:
Note: the values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.
