Potentially Hazardous Asteroid
1862 Apollo (1932 HA) is classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) because it is estimated to be larger than 140 meters and its orbit comes within 0.05 AU of Earth. NASA continuously monitors this object for any future impact risk. Current data does not indicate a confirmed impact event.
Stony asteroid
1862 Apollo is a stony asteroid, approximately 1.5 kilometers in diameter, classified as a near-Earth object (NEO). It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on 24 April 1932, but was lost and not recovered until 1973.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 1862 Apollo (1932 HA) dangerous?โพ
1862 Apollo (1932 HA) is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) by NASA. This means it is large enough and its orbit brings it close enough to Earth to warrant close monitoring. However, a PHA classification does not mean an impact is imminent.
How close will 1862 Apollo (1932 HA) come to Earth?โพ
The closest recorded Earth approach of 1862 Apollo (1932 HA) is 0.0283 AU (4.2 million km) on November 11, 1930, at a speed of approximately 17.8 km/s.
How big is 1862 Apollo (1932 HA)?โพ
1862 Apollo (1932 HA) has an estimated diameter of 2.60 km (1609โ3598 meters range). Its absolute magnitude (H) is 16.09, which NASA uses along with assumed albedo to estimate size.
