Talich is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Talich as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Talich orbits the sun every 1,750 days (4.79 years), coming as close as 2.66 AU and reaching as far as 3.02 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Talich is probably between 3.424 to 7.657 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the island of Manhattan.
Talich's orbit is 1.67 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.
Talich's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 9, 1977. It was last officially observed on May 14, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,968 observations used to determine its orbit.
