Jerrylewis is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Jerrylewis as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Jerrylewis orbits the sun every 1,410 days (3.86 years), coming as close as 1.90 AU and reaching as far as 3.02 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Jerrylewis is probably between 5.477 to 12.247 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of Jerrylewis has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 4.52 hours.
Jerrylewis's orbit is 0.92 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
Jerrylewis's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 4, 1951. It was last officially observed on Jan. 26, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,373 observations used to determine its orbit.
