It was announced on 27 May 2010 based on images taken by the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) on 13–15 January 2010. It is estimated to be 900 meters in diameter and is listed on the Sentry Risk Table. It has an uncertainty parameter of 9. Virtual clones of the asteroid that fit the uncertainty region in the known trajectory show a 1 in 769,231,000 chance that the asteroid will impact the Earth on 2020 October 20. With a 2020 Palermo Technical Scale of −4.36, the odds of impact by 2010 AU118 in 2020 are about 23000 times less than the background hazard level of Earth impacts which is defined as the average risk posed by objects of the same size or larger over the years until the date of the potential impact.. }
