(875163) 1998 SH2 is an Apollo-type near-Earth asteroid with an estimated diameter of about 383 m (1,257 ft).[5] It was discovered by the Spacewatch survey of the Kitt Peak National Observatory from Arizona, USA on 17 September 1998.[1] Astrometric measurements up to 2025 revealed orbital perturbations consistent with weak outgassing,[6] indicating that this object might be also a comet.[7] It is considered a potentially hazardous asteroid, however there is no significant impact risk with Earth in the foreseeable future.[8]
