Background
(as of 2019-01-13)
- Object:2019 AG7
- Orbit Type: Aten [NEO]
- Approximate Diameter: 23 m to 51 m (75.4593 feet to 167.323) (Absolute Magnitude: H= 25.32)
- On the Sentry Risk Table: Yes
- NOTE this is NOT a prediction of an impact but rather a statement there is insufficient observational data rule out an impact -- for more information read Understanding Risk Pages by Jon Giorgini
- "The likelihood of a collision is zero, or is so low as to be effectively zero. Also applies to small objects such as meteors and bodies that burn up in the atmosphere as well as infrequent meteorite falls that rarely cause damage.."
- On the NEODyS CLOMON2 risk page: Yes
