(388188) 2006 DP14, provisional designation 2006 DP14, is a sub-kilometer sized, peanut-shaped asteroid on a highly eccentric orbit, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group. This contact binary was discovered on 23 February 2006, by astronomers of the LINEAR program at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico, in the United States.[1] On 10 February 2014, it passed 6.25 lunar distances from Earth.[2][3] The asteroid is approximately 400 meters in diameter and has a rotation period of 5.77 hours.[4][a]
