Marybruck is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Marybruck as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Marybruck orbits the sun every 1,880 days (5.15 years), coming as close as 2.87 AU and reaching as far as 3.09 AU from the sun. Marybruck is about 4.9 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of Marybruck has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 196.76 hours.
Marybruck's orbit is 1.90 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.
Marybruck's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 13, 1980. It was last officially observed on March 14, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,816 observations used to determine its orbit.
