Key Facts
- Categorized as a Main-belt Asteroid
- Comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay (5.06 km diameter)
- Not a Near Earth Object
- Not a Potentially Hazardous Object
- See orbit simulation
Overview
Anndavgui is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Anndavgui as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Anndavgui orbits the sun every 2,010 days (5.50 years), coming as close as 2.14 AU and reaching as far as 4.09 AU from the sun. Anndavgui is about 5.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
No Close Approaches
Anndavgui's orbit is 1.22 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.
Images and Observations
Anndavgui's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 14, 1979. It was last officially observed on May 15, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,531 observations used to determine its orbit.
Accessibility and Exploration
This asteroid is not considered a viable target for human exploration by the NHATS study.Similar Objects
