It was discovered on 27 May 1998, by astronomers of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) at Lincoln Laboratory's ETS near Socorro, New Mexico, at an apparent magnitude of 17.6 using a 1.0-meter (39 in) reflector.[1] It was tracked through 9 June 1998.[6] It was recovered on 28 December 2003 which extended the observation arc by 5 years.[7] Two precovery images from January 1990 extended the observation arc by 8 years.[6]
Based on an absolute magnitude of 19.4,[2] the asteroid has an estimated diameter of about 500 metres (1,600 ft).[3] (152680) 1998 KJ9 is noted for a close approach to the Earth on 31 December 1914 at a distance of 0.00155 AU (232,000 km; 144,000 mi).[8] It is one of the largest objects known to have come inside the orbit of the moon. During the 1914 close approach the asteroid reached about apparent magnitude 7.7.[9]
