✨ Trivia
What it actually is
- 🛸 Its orbit family. An Amor-class object. It approaches Earth's orbit from outside without ever crossing it — named for the asteroid Amor, which swept past at 16 million km in 1932.
- 🌞 Closest approach. At its nearest it comes within 1.28 AU of the Sun — inside the orbit of Mars.
- 🔁 One lap. A single orbit around the Sun takes it about 5.4 years.
- 🥏 How far it roams. Its orbit swings between 1.28 and 4.85 AU from the Sun.
Sense of scale
- 🧱 Sense of scale. In everyday terms it is about 5.7 football pitches across.
Standing on it
- 🦘 Don't jump. Escape velocity here is only around 0.36 m/s. A determined jump would launch you off it and into your own orbit around the Sun.
By the numbers
- 📐 Size. Roughly 599 metres across.
What's in a name
- 🔢 Designation. Known only by its catalogue designation — no name yet.
