asteroid 2011 UW158

Asteroid 2011 UW158 is a near-Earth object approximately 370 meters (about 1,200 feet) in diameter. Discovered in 2011, it has an orbit that brings it relatively close to our planet—its closest approach was in May 2022 at about 0.87 astronomical units (roughly 130 million kilometers). Its orbit is slightly elongated, taking around 2.5 years to complete one revolution around the Sun. While it doesn't pose a threat currently, astronomers track such asteroids to understand their paths and assess any potential future impact risks.
