14908 (1993 OQ4) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 OQ4 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 OQ4 orbits the sun every 1,340 days (3.67 years), coming as close as 1.97 AU and reaching as far as 2.79 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1993 OQ4 is probably between 2.161 to 4.831 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to Mount Everest.
1993 OQ4's orbit is 0.96 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
1993 OQ4's orbit is determined by observations dating back to July 13, 1993. It was last officially observed on Aug. 3, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,517 observations used to determine its orbit.
