Hveen is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Hveen as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Hveen orbits the sun every 2,050 days (5.61 years), coming as close as 2.81 AU and reaching as far as 3.50 AU from the sun. Hveen is about 42.7 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
The rotation of Hveen has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 5.99 hours.
Hveen's orbit is 1.84 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.
Hveen's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 2, 1919. It was last officially observed on July 4, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4,313 observations used to determine its orbit.
