11993 (1995 XX) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 XX as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 XX orbits the sun every 1,980 days (5.42 years), coming as close as 2.94 AU and reaching as far as 3.23 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1995 XX is probably between 6.033 to 13.491 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1995 XX has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 13.95 hours.
1995 XX's orbit is 1.94 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.
1995 XX's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 2, 1976. It was last officially observed on April 8, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,369 observations used to determine its orbit.
