2014 WN504 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 2014 WN504 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2014 WN504 orbits the sun every 3,280 days (8.98 years), coming as close as 3.32 AU and reaching as far as 5.32 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2014 WN504 is probably between 1.961 to 4.386 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to Mount Everest.
2014 WN504's orbit is 2.32 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.
2014 WN504's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 22, 2004. It was last officially observed on Oct. 19, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 131 observations used to determine its orbit.
