Borges is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Borges as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Borges orbits the sun every 1,760 days (4.82 years), coming as close as 2.64 AU and reaching as far as 3.07 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Borges is probably between 6.832 to 15.277 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
Borges's orbit is 1.64 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.
Borges's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 5, 1978. It was last officially observed on June 24, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,096 observations used to determine its orbit.
