Near-Earth object / ID: 2162510
162510 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 803m - 1.8km across. It has been followed since 2000-08-28 across 1805 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2037-Mar-12 01:36, passing at 65.520 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.
