Simoneterreni is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Simoneterreni as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Simoneterreni orbits the sun every 1,340 days (3.67 years), coming as close as 2.17 AU and reaching as far as 2.60 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Simoneterreni is probably between 2.504 to 5.598 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the island of Manhattan.
Simoneterreni's orbit is 1.19 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.
Simoneterreni's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 4, 1992. It was last officially observed on March 11, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,050 observations used to determine its orbit.
