Near-Earth object / ID: 2004769

Object: 4769 Castalia

4769 Castalia 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 888m - 2km across. It has been followed since 1989-08-01 across 746 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2027-Apr-04 03:42, passing at 50.113 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.
