Near-Earth object / ID: 2152561
152561 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 402m - 900m across. It has been followed since 1977-08-19 across 117 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2027-Jan-02 05:28, passing at 141.015 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.
