Near-Earth object / ID: 2162039
162039 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 439m - 982m across. It has been followed since 1996-05-08 across 787 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2028-Jan-16 01:54, passing at 10.165 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.
