60375 (2000 AY146) is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit that crosses the orbit of Mars. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 AY146 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 AY146 orbits the sun every 972 days (2.66 years), coming as close as 1.61 AU and reaching as far as 2.23 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2000 AY146 is probably between 2.658 to 5.943 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the island of Manhattan.
2000 AY146's orbit is 0.73 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.
2000 AY146's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 23, 1993. It was last officially observed on Sept. 8, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,124 observations used to determine its orbit.
