2019 GC6

2019 GC6 is a small near-Earth asteroid that was discovered on April 9, 2019, by the Catalina Sky Survey. It is classified as an Apollo asteroid, meaning its orbit crosses that of Earth. Its orbital parameters are frequently updated as more observations are made.

Observations suggest it has a relatively small size, estimated to be in the range of a few meters. Due to its size and composition, it poses no significant threat to Earth.

Its discovery and subsequent observation contributed to the ongoing efforts in near-Earth object (NEO) surveys, which aim to identify and characterize asteroids and comets that could potentially pose an impact risk to our planet. The continuous monitoring of objects like 2019 GC6 helps refine our understanding of the NEO population and improve our ability to predict future close approaches.
