Pink Floyd is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Pink Floyd as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Pink Floyd orbits the sun every 1,400 days (3.83 years), coming as close as 2.04 AU and reaching as far as 2.85 AU from the sun. Pink Floyd is about 6.7 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
Pink Floyd's orbit is 1.05 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.
Pink Floyd's orbit is determined by observations dating back to July 31, 1954. It was last officially observed on June 26, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,801 observations used to determine its orbit.
