Near-Earth object / ID: 2033342
33342 is a near-Earth object of the ATE orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits similar to that of 2062 Aten. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 662m - 1.5km across. It has been followed since 1998-11-24 across 1995 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2026-Dec-24 07:40, passing at 39.377 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.
