14726 (2000 DD3) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 DD3 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 DD3 orbits the sun every 1,980 days (5.42 years), coming as close as 3.00 AU and reaching as far as 3.17 AU from the sun. 2000 DD3 is about 19.5 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Denver.
The rotation of 2000 DD3 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 4.02 hours.
2000 DD3's orbit is 2.02 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.
2000 DD3's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 22, 1954. It was last officially observed on May 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,108 observations used to determine its orbit.
