1566 Icarus (1949 MA)
NEO Reference: 2001566
1566 Icarus (1949 MA) is a near-Earth object in NASA's NeoWs (Near Earth Object Web Service) dataset. Its diameter is estimated from its absolute magnitude (H): a lower H means a brighter and usually larger object. The table lists recorded and predicted close approaches, with relative velocity in km/s and miss distance in km (the Moon is about 384,400 km from Earth).
