14495 (1995 AK1) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1995 AK1 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1995 AK1 orbits the sun every 1,580 days (4.33 years), coming as close as 1.81 AU and reaching as far as 3.50 AU from the sun. 1995 AK1 is about 10.4 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Boston.
The rotation of 1995 AK1 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 8.63 hours.
1995 AK1'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.
1995 AK1's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 29, 1989. It was last officially observed on July 28, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,660 observations used to determine its orbit.
