(84719) 2002 VR128

(84719) 2002 VR128 is a near-Earth asteroid (NEA). It was discovered on November 7, 2002, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program at Socorro, New Mexico.

The asteroid is classified as an Apollo asteroid, meaning its orbit crosses that of Earth's. Its orbit is relatively well-determined, allowing for accurate predictions of future close approaches. Its absolute magnitude (H) is approximately 20, indicating a size that is likely in the range of a few hundred meters. The exact size depends on its albedo, which is currently unknown.

While (84719) 2002 VR128 is an NEA, its orbit does not pose an immediate threat to Earth in the foreseeable future. However, like all NEAs, it is monitored by astronomers to track any potential changes in its orbit that could lead to a future impact. The monitoring of such objects is crucial for planetary defense efforts.
