2007 EB26 is one of the closest orbiting object to the Sun and second object ever numbered minor planet to have an orbit completely interior to that of the earth. It is classified as an Atira NEO Near Earth Object but does not cross Earth's orbit.
Discovery and naming
Discovered on March 10th 2011
Characteristics
Of note, this is one of the closest orbiting body to the sun, approaching within 0.116 AU of the sun approximately every 148 days, before leaving for a distance of 0.979 AU and does not cross the Earth's orbit. Only (137924) 2000 BD19 has a closer orbit, 0.092AU, although 2000 BD19 goes beyond Earth's orbit.
