Deipylos is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified Deipylos as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Deipylos orbits the sun every 4,370 days (11.96 years), coming as close as 4.41 AU and reaching as far as 6.04 AU from the sun. Deipylos is about 84.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
The rotation of Deipylos has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 9.30 hours.
Deipylos's orbit is 3.45 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.
Deipylos's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 12, 1942. It was last officially observed on March 13, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,400 observations used to determine its orbit.
