Near-Earth object / ID: 2088254
88254 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 742m - 1.7km across. It has been followed since 1978-05-08 across 1001 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2028-Mar-12 13:44, passing at 32.836 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.
