1685 Toro (1948 OA)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), 1685 Toro (1948 OA) is a S / S body measuring between 3400m and 3400m in diameter. On 2032-01-20, it completes a cislunar approach at 50.13 Lunar Distances (19,269,048 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 16.03 km/s.
1685 Toro (1948 OA) (JPL ID 1685) is a S / S Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 3400.0m–3400.0m (mean 3400m). On 2032-01-20, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 50.128 Lunar Distances (19,269,048 km) with a relative velocity of 16.03 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 1801049.32 megatons TNT. Its well-constrained heliocentric ephemeris passes safely outside Earth capture corridors while serving as an orbital calibration target.
