17590 (1995 CG) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter within the inner portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 CG as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 CG orbits the sun every 1,000 days (2.74 years), coming as close as 1.81 AU and reaching as far as 2.11 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1995 CG is probably between 2.835 to 6.339 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the island of Manhattan.
The rotation of 1995 CG has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 49.60 hours.
1995 CG's orbit is 0.80 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
1995 CG's orbit is determined by observations dating back to July 16, 1982. It was last officially observed on July 4, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,428 observations used to determine its orbit.
