134690 (1999 XP61) 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 1999 XP61 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1999 XP61 orbits the sun every 2,940 days (8.05 years), coming as close as 3.00 AU and reaching as far as 5.04 AU from the sun. 1999 XP61 is about 9.9 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Boston.
1999 XP61's orbit is 2.00 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.
1999 XP61's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 4, 1991. It was last officially observed on Nov. 21, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 858 observations used to determine its orbit.
