Near-Earth object / ID: 2002340
2340 Hathor is a near-Earth object of the ATE orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits similar to that of 2062 Aten. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 220m - 492m across. It has been followed since 1976-10-25 across 572 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2028-Nov-18 13:44, passing at 88.954 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.
