11607 (1995 WX1) is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 WX1 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 WX1 orbits the sun every 2,100 days (5.75 years), coming as close as 2.75 AU and reaching as far as 3.66 AU from the sun. 1995 WX1 is about 15.7 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Philadelphia.
1995 WX1's orbit is 1.76 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.
1995 WX1's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 10, 1986. It was last officially observed on Dec. 24, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,196 observations used to determine its orbit.
