Near-Earth object / ID: 2162361
162361 is a near-Earth object of the ATE orbit class — Near-Earth asteroid orbits similar to that of 2062 Aten. Radar and photometric estimates put it between 238m - 532m across. It has been followed since 1991-01-15 across 510 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2028-May-11 09:59, passing at 23.527 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.
