Toshihanda is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Toshihanda as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Toshihanda orbits the sun every 2,890 days (7.91 years), coming as close as 3.20 AU and reaching as far as 4.74 AU from the sun. Toshihanda is about 23.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
The rotation of Toshihanda has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 36.30 hours.
Toshihanda's orbit is 2.22 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.
Toshihanda's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 13, 1955. It was last officially observed on Nov. 19, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,460 observations used to determine its orbit.
