Near-Earth object / ID: 2162422
162422 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 202m - 451m across. It has been followed since 2000-03-08 across 249 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2027-Nov-15 03:49, passing at 163.010 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.
