Near-Earth object / ID: 2162082
162082 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 399m - 891m across. It has been followed since 1998-04-18 across 2167 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2051-Oct-25 01:35, passing at 18.152 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.
