(2012 PP28)
Tracked by NASA JPL Near-Earth Object Web Service (NeoWs), (2012 PP28) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs body measuring between 372.01m and 831.84m in diameter. On 2026-11-07, it completes a cislunar approach at 78.78 Lunar Distances (30,294,800 km) with a relative heliocentric velocity of 12.58 km/s.
(2012 PP28) (JPL ID 3607667) is a Unreported by NASA NeoWs Near-Earth Asteroid spanning 372.0m–831.8m (mean 601.9m). On 2026-11-07, it transits Earth's cislunar surveillance sector at 78.776 Lunar Distances (30,294,800 km) with a relative velocity of 12.58 km/s and a theoretical kinetic energy reserve of 6152.02 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.
