2047999

2047999 is a notable asteroid in the solar system, classified as a near-Earth object (NEO). It was discovered on October 10, 2004, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project, an initiative of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Lincoln Laboratory. The asteroid is part of the Apollo group, which are Earth-crossing asteroids with semi-major axes greater than Earth's. 2047999 has an estimated diameter of about 1.5 kilometers, making it a relatively large NEO. Its orbit intersects with Earth's, and it has been classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) due to its size and proximity to Earth. The asteroid completes one orbit around the Sun approximately every 1.5 years. As of current observations, there is no immediate threat of a collision with Earth, but ongoing monitoring and research are essential to understand its trajectory and potential future risks.
