Near-Earth object / ID: 2069230
69230 Hermes 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 774m - 1.7km across. It has been followed since 1937-10-25 across 2716 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2033-Nov-08 16:47, passing at 56.447 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.
