Near-Earth object / ID: 2001862
1862 Apollo 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 1.6km - 3.6km across. It has been followed since 1930-12-13 across 3701 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2037-Nov-15 23:52, passing at 55.692 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.
