509459 (2007 LF33) 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 2007 LF33 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2007 LF33 orbits the sun every 2,650 days (7.26 years), coming as close as 3.43 AU and reaching as far as 4.07 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2007 LF33 is probably between 2.720 to 6.082 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the island of Manhattan.
2007 LF33's orbit is 2.48 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.
2007 LF33's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 15, 2007. It was last officially observed on Nov. 17, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 137 observations used to determine its orbit.
