Near-Earth object / ID: 2006037
6037 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 449m - 1km across. It has been followed since 1988-03-12 across 1102 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2028-Feb-06 09:00, passing at 34.821 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.
