Near-Earth object / ID: 2020425
20425 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 210m - 470m across. It has been followed since 1998-11-15 across 54 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2034-Feb-04 11:59, passing at 7.701 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.
