150872 (2001 ST201) is a mid-sized asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 ST201 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 ST201 orbits the sun every 4,310 days (11.80 years), coming as close as 4.69 AU and reaching as far as 5.68 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 ST201 is probably between 5.683 to 12.707 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
2001 ST201's orbit is 3.68 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.
2001 ST201's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 18, 2001. It was last officially observed on June 17, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 319 observations used to determine its orbit.
