153219 (2000 YM29) is a mid-sized asteroid whose orbit approaches the orbit of Earth but does not cross it. NASA JPL has classified 2000 YM29 as a "Near Earth Asteroid" due to its orbit's proximity to Earth, but it is not considered potentially hazardous because computer simulations have not indicated any imminent likelihood of future collision.
2000 YM29 orbits the sun every 1,100 days (3.01 years), coming as close as 1.18 AU and reaching as far as 3.00 AU from the sun. 2000 YM29 is about 1.3 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. Pentagon.
2000 YM29's orbit is 0.19 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a 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 YM29's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 24, 2000. It was last officially observed on April 20, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 642 observations used to determine its orbit.
