Near-Earth object / ID: 2085938
85938 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 477m - 1.1km across. It has been followed since 1999-02-24 across 647 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2052-Feb-29 11:49, passing at 138.261 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.
