Orbital solutions available from the Minor Planet Center and JPL’s Center for Near-Earth Object Studies indicate its trajectory is well constrained and no impact threat has been identified in the near term.

Observers continue follow-up photometry and, when possible, radar and spectroscopic measurements to refine its size, shape and rotation state; current size estimates remain approximate and depend on assumed surface reflectivity. For the latest, authoritative data check JPL CNEOS or the Minor Planet Center websites.
