**PASADENA, United States, Oct 16, 2026 —** Asteroid 2010 RF12 carries the highest cumulative Earth impact probability on the NASA Sentry impact-risk list, at 0.102637 [^1].

NASA/JPL CNEOS published the full set of updated readings 16 October 2026. Also listed are 2017 WT28 at 0.011544, 101955 Bennu at 0.0005717, 2025 BA1 at 0.00035416, 2024 TK5 at 0.0003347, 2021 GX9, 2019 VB37 and 2022 PX1 [^2] [^3] [^4] [^5] [^6] [^7] [^8].

Russian scientist Elena Yeleneva named 101955 Bennu among three asteroids considered the most dangerous to Earth [^9].
