1782002EK

1782002EK is a near-Earth asteroid discovered on March 14, 2008, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. It is classified as an Apollo asteroid, a group of near-Earth asteroids named after the asteroid 1862 Apollo. 1782002EK has an estimated diameter of approximately 1.2 kilometers (0.75 miles) and is composed primarily of rocky material. Its orbit intersects with Earth's, making it a potential impact hazard. However, current calculations indicate that there is no significant risk of collision with Earth in the foreseeable future. The asteroid completes one orbit around the Sun approximately every 1.1 years. Observations and calculations of its orbit continue to refine its trajectory and potential impact probabilities.
