Near-Earth object / ID: 2162000
162000 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 314m - 702m across. It has been followed since 1990-07-21 across 427 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2027-Jul-29 21:40, passing at 50.173 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.
