19020 (2000 SC6) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 SC6 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 SC6 orbits the sun every 4,340 days (11.88 years), coming as close as 4.62 AU and reaching as far as 5.80 AU from the sun. 2000 SC6 is about 42.6 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
The rotation of 2000 SC6 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 9.82 hours.
2000 SC6's orbit is 3.63 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.
2000 SC6's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 12, 1988. It was last officially observed on July 2, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,596 observations used to determine its orbit.
