Near-Earth object / ID: 2152978
152978 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 324m - 725m across. It has been followed since 2000-04-13 across 864 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2084-May-09 14:39, passing at 56.655 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.
