7843 (1994 YE1) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1994 YE1 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1994 YE1 orbits the sun every 1,480 days (4.05 years), coming as close as 2.28 AU and reaching as far as 2.81 AU from the sun. 1994 YE1 is about 13.5 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
1994 YE1's orbit is 1.31 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.
1994 YE1's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 11, 1972. It was last officially observed on March 30, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,918 observations used to determine its orbit.
