Near-Earth object / ID: 2085585
85585 Mjolnir 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 126m - 282m across. It has been followed since 1998-03-21 across 206 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2032-Mar-01 17:07, passing at 16.517 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.
