Near-Earth object / ID: 2163249
163249 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 484m - 1.1km across. It has been followed since 2002-04-03 across 1636 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2027-Aug-16 21:23, passing at 58.180 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.
