"" (also written "Astronomical naming conventionsMinor_planets(35396) 1997 XF11") is a Near-Earth asteroidnear-Earth and Mars-crosser asteroid which, shortly after its discovery on December 6, 1997, by James V. Scotti of the University of Arizona's Spacewatch Project, was predicted to make an exceptionally close approach to Earth in October 2028. Additional prediscovery observations of the asteroid were quickly found and the present orbit will take the asteroid past the Earth on October 26, 2028 at the relatively safe distance of 930,000 kilometers (580,000 miles), about 2.4 times the Lunar distance (astronomy)Earth-Moon distance.
What makes special is that it is estimated to be between 1.3 km and 2.8 km in diameter.
This asteroid also comes near 2 PallasPallas.
