15324 (1993 QO4) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 QO4 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 QO4 orbits the sun every 2,000 days (5.48 years), coming as close as 2.44 AU and reaching as far as 3.76 AU from the sun. 1993 QO4 is about 7.4 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
1993 QO4's orbit is 1.44 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.
1993 QO4's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 15, 1993. It was last officially observed on May 13, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,914 observations used to determine its orbit.
