117446 (2005 AV45) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2005 AV45 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2005 AV45 orbits the sun every 4,340 days (11.88 years), coming as close as 4.77 AU and reaching as far as 5.64 AU from the sun. 2005 AV45 is about 15.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Baltimore.
2005 AV45's orbit is 3.76 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.
2005 AV45's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 26, 1998. It was last officially observed on Sept. 29, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 878 observations used to determine its orbit.
