Geake is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Geake as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Geake orbits the sun every 1,510 days (4.13 years), coming as close as 1.80 AU and reaching as far as 3.34 AU from the sun. Geake is about 14.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
The rotation of Geake has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 38.29 hours.
Geake's orbit is 0.83 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.
Geake's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 8, 1956. It was last officially observed on Sept. 14, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,719 observations used to determine its orbit.
