11562 (1993 FU33) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 FU33 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 FU33 orbits the sun every 1,670 days (4.57 years), coming as close as 2.52 AU and reaching as far as 3.00 AU from the sun. 1993 FU33 is about 10.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Boston.
1993 FU33's orbit is 1.53 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.
1993 FU33's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 4, 1970. It was last officially observed on Dec. 22, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,367 observations used to determine its orbit.
