1862 Apollo (1932 HA)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), 1862 Apollo (1932 HA) is a Q / Q body measuring between 1500m and 1500m in diameter. On 2046-11-13, it completes a cislunar approach at 13.73 Lunar Distances (5,279,572 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 17.98 km/s.
1862 Apollo (1932 HA) (JPL ID 1862) is a Q / Q Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 1500.0m–1500.0m (mean 1500m). On 2046-11-13, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 13.735 Lunar Distances (5,279,572 km) with a relative velocity of 17.98 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 194569.59 megatons TNT. Classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) due to its Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance (MOID <= 0.05 AU) and absolute magnitude (H <= 22.0), it remains under high-priority radar and optical astrometric tracking.

Planetary Defense Frequently Asked Questions (Schema.org FAQ)
How big is 1862 Apollo (1932 HA) compared to city landmarks?
1862 Apollo (1932 HA) has an estimated diameter between 1500m and 1500m. At its upper-bound size of 1500m, it stands 339% as tall as the 443m Empire State Building in New York City and 455% of the 330m Eiffel Tower.
What does the stored 2046-11-13 close-approach estimate show?
This catalog snapshot lists a nominal miss distance of 13.73 Lunar Distances (5,279,572 km) for 1862 Apollo (1932 HA). This is not an impact prediction; check the latest NASA JPL record for updated orbital estimates. The 3D impact simulation is hypothetical.
