Zoozve (provisional designation 2002 VE68) is a sub-kilometer sized asteroid and temporary quasi-satellite of Venus .
Discovered in 2002 , it was the first such object to be discovered around a major planet in the Solar System .
In a frame of reference rotating with Venus , it appears to travel around it during one Venerean year , but it orbits the Sun , not Venus .
Its next fly-by with Earth happened on 4 November 2018 at 0.038 AU ( 5,700,000 km ; 3,500,000 mi) Numerical simulations indicate that an actual collision with Earth during the next 10,000 years is not likely, although dangerously close approaches to about 0.002 AU are possible, potentially within Earth 's Hill sphere.
