Near-Earth object / ID: 2068347
68347 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 276m - 617m across. It has been followed since 2001-05-30 across 614 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2034-Jun-06 05:54, passing at 78.630 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.
