Asteroid 2002 PN6 is a near-Earth object catalogued by NASA under reference ID 3132507. Its estimated diameter is 176–393 m (average 284 m), inferred from brightness rather than measured directly. Its closest catalogued approach to Mars occurs on Sun, Mar 3, 2143, missing by 9,713,930 km — 25.26 lunar distances. NASA does not classify it as a potentially hazardous asteroid.
This score ranks how notable the asteroid approach is. It is not an impact prediction.
