Near-Earth object / ID: 2194268
194268 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 566m - 1.3km across. It has been followed since 2001-10-16 across 749 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2028-Jan-05 09:53, passing at 19.835 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.
