Naderayama is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit that crosses the orbit of Mars. NASA JPL has not classified Naderayama as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Naderayama orbits the sun every 1,230 days (3.37 years), coming as close as 1.60 AU and reaching as far as 2.90 AU from the sun. Naderayama is about 1.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to Mount Everest.
The rotation of Naderayama has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 6.59 hours.
Naderayama's orbit is 0.60 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.
Naderayama's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 18, 1995. It was last officially observed on April 8, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,875 observations used to determine its orbit.
