13144 (1995 BJ) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 BJ as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 BJ orbits the sun every 1,960 days (5.37 years), coming as close as 2.79 AU and reaching as far as 3.35 AU from the sun. 1995 BJ is about 7.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1995 BJ has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 189.00 hours.
1995 BJ's orbit is 1.81 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 BJ's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 23, 1995. It was last officially observed on June 14, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,262 observations used to determine its orbit.
