Near-Earth object / ID: 2001566

Object: 1566 Icarus

1566 Icarus is a near-Earth object of the APO orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits which cross the Earth’s orbit similar to that of 1862 Apollo. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 1.3km - 2.9km across. It has been followed since 1949-07-01 across 1796 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2033-Apr-30 16:13, passing at 53.793 LD. JPL classifies it as a potentially hazardous asteroid, a label driven by its size and how close its orbit comes to ours — not by a predicted impact.
