(416151) 2002 RQ25

(416151) 2002 RQ25 is a minor planet, specifically a near-Earth asteroid. The designation follows the naming conventions for minor planets. The number (416151) indicates its sequential discovery and cataloging within the Minor Planet Center's records. "2002 RQ25" is the provisional designation given upon its discovery; "2002" indicates the year of discovery, "R" signifies the second half of September (following a system where A=January 1-15, B=January 16-31, and so on), and "Q25" represents the order of discovery within that half-month.

The "near-Earth asteroid" classification means its orbit brings it relatively close to Earth's orbit. The exact orbital parameters (e.g., semi-major axis, eccentricity, inclination) and physical properties (e.g., size, composition, rotation period) would be determined through further observation and analysis. Knowledge of these parameters is crucial for assessing any potential impact risk, even if the asteroid is not currently considered a threat. Information regarding the asteroid's orbital characteristics can be found in databases maintained by organizations like the Minor Planet Center (MPC) and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
