Near-Earth object / ID: 2162416
162416 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 123m - 275m across. It has been followed since 2000-03-04 across 59 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2043-Mar-12 04:04, passing at 167.785 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.
