Near-Earth object / ID: 2025143

Object: 25143 Itokawa

25143 Itokawa 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 374m - 836m across. It has been followed since 1998-09-19 across 1025 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2033-Mar-23 15:55, passing at 33.181 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.
