2012 FP35 is an Apollo asteroid about 11 meters in diameter that makes close approaches to Earth.[2] It orbits the Sun every 583.2 days, in an ellipse between 0.749 AU and 1.983 AU from the Sun.[2] It was discovered on March 24, 2012 by the Catalina Sky Survey.[2]
It may have passed as close as 0.00036 astronomical unit|AU (54,000 km; 33,000 mi) from Earth in late March 2001, but more likely passed 0.02 AU from Earth.[1] It came within 0.00107 AU (160,000 km; 99,000 mi) of Earth on March 26, 2012.[1][3] The asteroid is about 7–15 meters in diameter.
The size of the asteroid is estimated from the absolute magnitude.[2]
