15600 (2000 GY103) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 GY103 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 GY103 orbits the sun every 1,950 days (5.34 years), coming as close as 2.80 AU and reaching as far as 3.30 AU from the sun. 2000 GY103 is about 8.3 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 2000 GY103 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 10.68 hours.
2000 GY103's orbit is 1.79 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.
2000 GY103's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 13, 1991. It was last officially observed on July 1, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,809 observations used to determine its orbit.
