16628 (1993 KF) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1993 KF as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1993 KF orbits the sun every 1,910 days (5.23 years), coming as close as 2.82 AU and reaching as far as 3.21 AU from the sun. 1993 KF is about 12.4 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
1993 KF's orbit is 1.83 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 KF's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 29, 1989. It was last officially observed on June 10, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,182 observations used to determine its orbit.
