Near-Earth object / ID: 2012923

Object: 12923 Zephyr

12923 Zephyr 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 1.8km - 4.1km across. It has been followed since 1955-04-21 across 3011 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2032-Sep-22 21:13, passing at 72.361 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.
