(679648) 2019 XS is a small Apollo near-Earth asteroid discovered on 2 December 2019 by the Mount Lemmon SurveyinArizona, United States.[2] It passed 1.493 lunar distances (574,000 km; 357,000 mi) from Earth on 9 November 2021 at 03:48 UTC, after which observations were checked by the International Asteroid Warning Network for timing and astrometric accuracy.[7][8][9] During the close pass, the asteroid trailed across the far Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere and reached a peak apparent magnitude of 13. A total of 957 observations were collected by Minor Planet Center as part of the International Asteroid Warning Network's campaign.[10]

2019 XS is well-observed with a long observation arc of over 21 years, enough to distinguish subtle changes in its orbit over time due non-gravitational acceleration by the Yarkovsky effect.[4][10] Highly precise radar observationsbyNASA's Goldstone Solar System Radar on 11 November 2021 have significantly constrained the asteroid's orbit and 2021 close approach distance to within a few kilometres.[4] Radar imaging has shown that the asteroid is roughly 70 m (230 ft) in diameter, with a rotation period around 3 hours.[5]

Continuous photometric observations by the Center for Solar System StudiesinLanders, California show an irregular light curve for 2019 XS, signifying that the asteroid is in a tumbling rotation state.[6] The light curve of 2019 XS appears to display two overlapping periods of 2.35 and 3.01 hours, which could possibly be associated with the asteroid's rotation and precession.[6]
