Near-Earth object / ID: 2206378
206378 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 470m - 1.1km across. It has been followed since 2002-02-13 across 1445 recorded observations. Its next approach to Earth is 2058-Oct-20 11:41, passing at 52.528 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.
