3103 EGER

'3103 Eger' is an Apollo and Mars-crosser asteroid that was discovered in 1982, by M. Lovas. It was named after the city of Eger, Hungary.
It makes eight approaches to Earth less than 30 Gm (.2 AU) in the 20th and 21st centuries. The last close approach was in August 2006 at 19.2 Gm. The next is in 2011 at 22.9 Gm.
