120329 (2004 ND17) is a mid-sized asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2004 ND17 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2004 ND17 orbits the sun every 2,880 days (7.89 years), coming as close as 3.41 AU and reaching as far as 4.50 AU from the sun. 2004 ND17 is about 9.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
2004 ND17's orbit is 2.40 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.
2004 ND17's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 10, 2002. It was last officially observed on Dec. 26, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 734 observations used to determine its orbit.
