19261 (1995 MB) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 MB as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 MB orbits the sun every 1,370 days (3.75 years), coming as close as 1.87 AU and reaching as far as 2.95 AU from the sun. 1995 MB is about 7.3 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1995 MB has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 4.59 hours.
1995 MB's orbit is 0.86 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 MB's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 7, 1989. It was last officially observed on April 16, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,459 observations used to determine its orbit.
