Near-Earth object / ID: 2163026
163026 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 151m - 337m across. It has been followed since 2001-12-11 across 72 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2027-Jun-18 04:38, passing at 84.210 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.
