Description edit

 
Nominal orbit of 2001 WN5 (green line) passing the Earth–Moon system in June 2028

It was discovered by the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search at Anderson Mesa Station on 20 November 2001,[4] The potentially hazardous asteroid was removed from the Sentry Risk Table on 30 January 2002.[5]

There are precovery images dating back to 10 February 1996.[1] The orbit is well determined with an observation arc of 14.9 years which includes two radar delay observations. It has an Uncertainty Parameter of 0.[1]

The asteroid will pass 248,700 km (0.647 LD) from the Earth on 26 June 2028.[1] During the close approach, the asteroid should peak at about apparent magnitude 6.7,[6] and will be visible in binoculars. It has an absolute magnitude (H) of 18.2.[1]

According to observations by the NEOWISE mission, the asteroid measures approximately 0.9 km in diameter and its surface has a rather low albedo of 0.097.[2]
