Fields returned:
- designation (str) — Object primary designation, e.g. 2024 AB1 or 433 Eros
- orbit_id (str) — Identifier of the orbit solution used for the prediction
- close_approach_time (str) — Close-approach date and time in universal time, as published by the source
- julian_date (float) — Close-approach time as a Julian date, useful for sorting and maths
- distance_au (float) — Nominal approach distance in astronomical units
- distance_min_au (float) — Minimum approach distance within the uncertainty range, in astronomical units
- distance_max_au (float) — Maximum approach distance within the uncertainty range, in astronomical units
- relative_velocity_km_s (float) — Velocity relative to Earth at approach, kilometres per second
- absolute_magnitude (float) — Absolute magnitude, a proxy for object size — smaller numbers mean larger objects
