Eumaios is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified Eumaios as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Eumaios orbits the sun every 4,270 days (11.69 years), coming as close as 4.36 AU and reaching as far as 5.93 AU from the sun. Eumaios is about 23.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
The rotation of Eumaios has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 13.40 hours.
Eumaios's orbit is 3.37 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.
Eumaios's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 19, 1973. It was last officially observed on April 22, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,564 observations used to determine its orbit.
