A Potentially Hazardous Asteroid (PHA) is a Near-Earth asteroid that can come very close to the Earth and is big enough to cause at least a region-wide catastrophe if it were to hit the Earth. An asteroid is considered a PHA if its Earth MOID (Minimum Orbit Intersection Distance) is less than 0.05au and its absolute magnitude is greater than 22. By this definition, PHAs are usually bigger than 150m. Asteroid_groups_and_families
