11222 (1999 JR27) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1999 JR27 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1999 JR27 orbits the sun every 1,890 days (5.17 years), coming as close as 2.64 AU and reaching as far as 3.33 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1999 JR27 is probably between 5.923 to 13.245 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1999 JR27 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 178.91 hours.
1999 JR27's orbit is 1.65 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.
1999 JR27's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 2, 1975. It was last officially observed on March 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,702 observations used to determine its orbit.
