14793 (1975 SE2) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1975 SE2 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1975 SE2 orbits the sun every 1,380 days (3.78 years), coming as close as 2.09 AU and reaching as far as 2.76 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1975 SE2 is probably between 2.369 to 5.297 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the island of Manhattan.
The rotation of 1975 SE2 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 3.61 hours.
1975 SE2's orbit is 1.09 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.
1975 SE2's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 30, 1975. It was last officially observed on June 19, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,626 observations used to determine its orbit.
