(7482) 1994 PC1

 is a stony asteroid, classified as near-Earth object and potentially hazardous asteroid of the Apollo group, approximately 1.1 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 9 August 1994, by astronomer Robert McNaught at the Siding Spring Observatory in Coonabarabran, Australia. With an observation arc of 47 years it has a very well known orbit and was observed by Goldstone radar in January 1997. The 2022 approach has been observed every month since August 2021.

Orbit and classification
orbits the Sun at a distance of 0.9–1.8 AU once every 1 years and 7 months (572 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.33 and an inclination of 33° with respect to the ecliptic.

On 17 January 1933, it passed 811350 km from the Moon and then about an hour later made its closest known approach to Earth of 1125400 km. On 18 January 2022, it passed about 1981468 km from Earth.

Physical characteristics
In the SMASS classification, is a common stony S-type asteroid.

Rotation period
In 1998, a rotational lightcurve of was obtained from photometric observations by Petr Pravec. Lightcurve analysis gave a well-defined rotation period of 2.5999 hours with a brightness amplitude of 0.29 magnitude (U=3).

Diameter and albedo
According to the survey carried out by the NEOWISE mission of NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer, measures 1.052 kilometers in diameter and its surface has an albedo of 0.277. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo of 0.20 and calculates a diameter of 1.30 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 16.8.

2022 flyby
At 18 January 2022 21:51 UTC, passed 5.15 lunar distances from Earth and had a 3-sigma uncertainty region of less than ± 50 km. It peaked at an apparent magnitude of about 10 placing it just outside the reach of common 7×50 binoculars. The nearly Full moon being about 100 degrees from the asteroid during closest approach may have made it more difficult to observe with smaller telescopes.

Naming
As of 2022, this minor planet has not been named.
