206835

206835 is an asteroid that was discovered on February 26, 2004, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. It is classified as a near-Earth object (NEO) and a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) due to its size and proximity to Earth's orbit. The asteroid has an estimated diameter of about 1.1 kilometers (0.68 miles) and orbits the Sun every 1.2 years. Its orbit brings it close to Earth's path, with the closest approach occurring approximately every 20 years. Despite its classification as a PHA, 206835 does not pose an immediate threat to Earth, as its orbit is well understood and it is not expected to collide with our planet in the foreseeable future. The asteroid is named after the year of its discovery, 2004, and the sequence number assigned by the Minor Planet Center.
