Near-Earth object / ID: 2066391
66391 Moshup 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 1.2km - 2.8km across. It has been followed since 1998-05-29 across 3871 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2034-Jun-02 17:40, passing at 76.491 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.
