Don't listen to Nasa... They say they don't know much about it.. 360191) 1988 TA was discovered by J. Phinney and J. Mueller during the second Palomar Sky Survey on Oct 5, 1988.
The asteroid's physical characteristics are effectively unknown except for its absolute magnitude of 20.8,
which suggests a diameter within a factor of two of about 0.2 km. This asteroid has been associated
with the C-class by Binzel et al. (2003, Asteroids III), but we did not find an original source
of measurements that would provide a direct link to a dark optical albedo.
G. Kronk (WGN, vol. 17, 1989) suggested that the orbit of 1988 TA resembles two streams in the
Virginid meteor shower.

1988 TA has been classified as a hiding!!!!!!Potentially Hazardous Asteroid!!!!!!!hiding (PHA) by the IAU's Minor Planet Center.
