2012 UE34

2012 UE₃₄ is an Apollo asteroid, which are Earth-crossers and the largest subgroup in the near-Earth object population. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.996–1.22 AU once every 14 months (424 days; semi-major axis of 1.11 AU). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.10 and an inclination of 10° with respect to the ecliptic.^[2] The body's observation arc begins with its official first observation at Haleakala in October 2012.^[1]

2012 UE₃₄ passed about 0.002 AU (300,000 km; 190,000 mi) from Earth on 8 April 1991.^[2] On 8 April 2041, the asteroid will pass about 0.0007 AU (100,000 km; 65,000 mi) from Earth. For comparison, the distance to the Moon is about 0.0026 AU (384,400 km).

It has an exceptionally low minimum orbital intersection distance with Earth of 0.000919 AU (137,500 km), which translates into 0.36 lunar distances. Despite this exceptionally low theoretical distance, the asteroid is not listed as a potentially hazardous asteroid, due to its small size, represented by its proxy, an absolute magnitude of 23.3, which is below the defined threshold of 22 magnitude.^[2]

This minor planet has not been numbered by the Minor Planet Center and remains unnamed.^[1]
