470544

470544 is a numerical identifier that appears in various contexts, primarily within the fields of astronomy and space exploration. It is most notably associated with the **Near-Earth Object (NEO) 470544 (2009 DB)**, an Apollo-class asteroid discovered on February 27, 2009, by astronomers using the WISE (Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer) spacecraft.

This asteroid has an estimated diameter of approximately 1.5 kilometers (0.93 miles) and follows an orbit that periodically brings it close to Earth’s trajectory. While classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) due to its size and proximity, current orbital data suggests it poses no immediate threat of collision with Earth. Its orbit spans about 1.8 Earth years, with a perihelion (closest approach to the Sun) near the Sun’s orbit and an aphelion extending beyond Mars.

Beyond astronomy, the number 470544 may also appear in other technical or coding contexts, such as file references, inventory systems, or database identifiers, though no widely recognized significance exists outside of its astronomical designation. The naming convention follows the Minor Planet Center’s numbering system, where each asteroid receives a unique numerical designation upon confirmation of its orbit. Further observations continue to refine its trajectory and classification.
