Kentstevens is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Kentstevens as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Kentstevens orbits the sun every 1,190 days (3.26 years), coming as close as 1.93 AU and reaching as far as 2.47 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Kentstevens is probably between 1.602 to 3.581 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to Mount Everest.
Kentstevens's orbit is 0.92 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
Kentstevens's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 27, 1995. It was last officially observed on May 12, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,373 observations used to determine its orbit.
