Asteroid 1998 OR2 is a near-Earth asteroid that was discovered on July 24, 1998. It belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids, which are known for their orbits that cross Earth's path. This asteroid has an estimated diameter of about 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) and is classified as a potentially hazardous object due to its size and proximity to Earth. In April 2020, Asteroid 1998 OR2 made a close approach to our planet, passing at a distance of approximately 6.3 million kilometers (3.9 million miles). While this distance is safe, it provided an opportunity for astronomers to study the asteroid and learn more about its composition and orbit, contributing to our understanding of similar celestial bodies.
