13664 (1997 GE17) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1997 GE17 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1997 GE17 orbits the sun every 1,210 days (3.31 years), coming as close as 2.10 AU and reaching as far as 2.34 AU from the sun. 1997 GE17 is about 1.7 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to Mount Everest.
1997 GE17's orbit is 1.12 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.
1997 GE17's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 12, 1977. It was last officially observed on May 31, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,426 observations used to determine its orbit.
