1989 FR is a mid-sized asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1989 FR as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1989 FR orbits the sun every 2,100 days (5.75 years), coming as close as 2.40 AU and reaching as far as 4.01 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1989 FR is probably between 6.202 to 13.869 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
1989 FR's orbit is 1.40 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.
1989 FR's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 26, 1989. It was last officially observed on March 28, 1989. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 6 observations used to determine its orbit.
