Asteroids in fiction
After Ceres, Asteroid 433 Eros is perhaps the most-commonly mentioned asteroid, probably because it is one of the largest near-Earth asteroids.
Potentially hazardous object
With a mean-diameter of approximately 7 kilometers, the Apollo asteroid is likely the largest known potentially hazardous object, despite its fainter absolute magnitude of 15.2, compared to other listed objects in the table below "(note: calculated mean-diameters in table are inferred from the objects brightness and its (assumed) albedo. They are only an approximation.)". The lowest numbered PHA is 1566 Icarus.
