Near-Earth object / ID: 2162998

Object: 162998

162998 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 623m - 1.4km across. It has been followed since 1993-10-09 across 1613 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2108-Dec-08 19:36, passing at 72.623 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.
