1862 Apollo

1862 Apollo /əˈpɒloʊ/ is a Q-type asteroid, discovered by Karl Reinmuth in 1932, but lost and not recovered until 1973. It is named after the Greek god Apollo.
It is the namesake of the Apollo asteroids, and the first one discovered, although because it was lost for a time its asteroid number (1862) is higher than that of some other Apollo asteroids such as 1566 Icarus. Analysis of the spin of this object provided observational evidence of the YORP effect.
It was the first asteroid recognized to cross Earth's orbit. It is also a Venus- and Mars-crosser asteroid.
