Near-Earth object / ID: 2039572
39572 is a near-Earth object of the AMO orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits similar to that of 1221 Amor. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 1.3km - 2.9km across. It has been followed since 1993-02-26 across 896 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2040-Aug-17 03:16, passing at 42.234 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.
