Could (355256) 2007 KN4 Become a Large Potentially Hazardous Asteroid?
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The connection between Near-Earth asteroids and the main belt is well established, yet few concrete examples exist of asteroids that are migrating between the two regions. (355256) 2007 KN4 presents a compelling case, as it may evolve first into a main belt asteroid, and then a potentially hazardous asteroid within a few tens of thousands of years. As it is approaching its best apparition in decades, observations of this asteroid are encouraged.
