Near-Earth object / ID: 2026663
26663 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 632m - 1.4km across. It has been followed since 1974-07-12 across 906 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2074-Jan-31 04:14, passing at 45.835 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.
