Near-Earth object / ID: 2162922
162922 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 175m - 391m across. It has been followed since 2001-07-19 across 164 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2034-Apr-05 17:28, passing at 32.459 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.
