Near-Earth object / ID: 2163818
163818 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 540m - 1.2km across. It has been followed since 2003-09-06 across 971 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2053-Apr-28 19:52, passing at 67.283 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.
