Overall, NASA considers any object that comes within 120 million miles of the Earth as a “near-Earth object”, or NEO. Further, any fast-moving object within 4.65 million miles is classified as potentially hazardous. Since this asteroid is skimming past Earth at around 23,300 miles per hour, it falls into the latter category.
