Near-Earth object / ID: 2162474
162474 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 502m - 1.1km across. It has been followed since 2000-06-07 across 282 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2029-Jun-16 20:53, passing at 68.439 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.
