Near-Earth object / ID: 2004581

Object: 4581 Asclepius

4581 Asclepius 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 189m - 423m across. It has been followed since 1989-03-31 across 424 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2029-May-02 17:42, passing at 31.409 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.
