Gerokurat is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Gerokurat as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Gerokurat orbits the sun every 2,100 days (5.75 years), coming as close as 2.97 AU and reaching as far as 3.44 AU from the sun. Gerokurat is about 22.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
Gerokurat's orbit is 2.01 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.
Gerokurat's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 9, 1981. It was last officially observed on June 25, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,499 observations used to determine its orbit.
