17571 (1994 PV) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1994 PV as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1994 PV orbits the sun every 2,010 days (5.50 years), coming as close as 2.60 AU and reaching as far as 3.64 AU from the sun. 1994 PV is about 15.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Baltimore.
1994 PV'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.
1994 PV's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 14, 1994. It was last officially observed on Feb. 9, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,692 observations used to determine its orbit.
