2003as

2003as is a small Solar System body discovered in 2003 by the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking program. It is classified as a Near-Earth asteroid, meaning its orbit brings it relatively close to Earth. Its orbital path is well-defined and has been extensively studied by astronomers. The asteroid's diameter is estimated to be around 1 kilometer, although precise measurements can be challenging for objects of this size. 2003as is composed primarily of rock and metal, typical for asteroids of its class. Its surface is likely irregular and cratered, a common feature resulting from countless impacts over billions of years. While its orbit brings it close to Earth, it does not currently pose a significant impact threat. Its discovery and continued observation contribute to our understanding of the composition and evolution of the inner Solar System. Further study may refine estimates of its mass, rotation rate, and surface characteristics, providing valuable data for planetary defense and scientific research.
