17321 (3188 T-1) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 3188 T-1 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
3188 T-1 orbits the sun every 2,050 days (5.61 years), coming as close as 2.51 AU and reaching as far as 3.81 AU from the sun. 3188 T-1 is about 8.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
3188 T-1's orbit is 1.59 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.
3188 T-1's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 25, 1971. It was last officially observed on Aug. 29, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,113 observations used to determine its orbit.
