12429 (1995 WH7) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 WH7 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 WH7 orbits the sun every 1,370 days (3.75 years), coming as close as 2.07 AU and reaching as far as 2.76 AU from the sun. 1995 WH7 is about 8.4 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1995 WH7 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 19.12 hours.
1995 WH7's orbit is 1.09 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 WH7's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 4, 1989. It was last officially observed on June 10, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,910 observations used to determine its orbit.
