10291 (1985 UT) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1985 UT as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1985 UT orbits the sun every 1,880 days (5.15 years), coming as close as 2.66 AU and reaching as far as 3.31 AU from the sun. 1985 UT is about 22.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
The rotation of 1985 UT has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 55.35 hours.
1985 UT's orbit is 1.66 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is an extremely wide berth between this asteroid and Earth at all times.
Orbital simulations conducted by NASA JPL's CNEOS do not show any close approaches to Earth.
1985 UT's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 1, 1975. It was last officially observed on April 23, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,150 observations used to determine its orbit.
