Near-Earth object / ID: 2053789
53789 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 901m - 2km across. It has been followed since 1955-04-16 across 1358 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2049-Dec-16 12:39, passing at 12.236 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.
