2001 FO32

2001 FO32 is a potentially hazardous asteroid that was discovered 20 years ago. It is set to pass by the earth at a speed of 1,24,000 kmph but it will not be approaching nearer than 2 million km of earth. It follows a highly eccentric orbit around the sun and it takes 810 days or 2¼ years to complete one orbit. The asteroid is not expected to approach this close to earth until 2052.
