(7888) 1993 UC is a near-Earth minor planet in the Apollo group. It was discovered by Robert H. McNaught at the Siding Spring Observatory in Coonabarabran, New South Wales, Australia, on October 20, 1993.^[2] Its size is estimated at between 2.3 km and 5.2 km, with a velocity of 15.3 km/s.^[3] (7888) 1993 UC is expected to pass within 0.1260 AU (18,900,000 KM) on or about March 30, 2013, but this approach will not pose a threat to Earth. (7888) 1993 UC is not classified as a Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) because its minimum orbit intersection distance (MOID) is 2.434 AU. Objects with an AU less than .05 are considered PHA.^[4]
