Near-Earth object / ID: 2162882
162882 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 464m - 1km across. It has been followed since 2000-04-12 across 956 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2034-Feb-13 15:18, passing at 12.656 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.
