2017 BQ6

2017 BQ6 is a sub-kilometer asteroid on an eccentric orbit, classified as a near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, approximately 150 meters in diameter.

It was discovered on 26 January 2017, by the Space Surveillance Telescope at Lincoln Laboratory's ETS (Atom Site) and passed within 6.6 lunar distances of Earth on 7 February 2017 at 6:36 UT.

[1][2] Its closest approach was observed by NASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar in California's Mojave Desert, determining it to have a number of angular flat surfaces similar to a polyhedral die.

[1] Based on an absolute magnitude of 21.4 and an assumed albedo for stony S-type asteroids of 0.20, 2017 BQ6 measures 156 meters in diameter.

[4] The body has a rotation period of 2.15 hours and a brightness amplitude of 0.38 magnitude (U=2).
