15345 (1994 PK11) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1994 PK11 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1994 PK11 orbits the sun every 1,320 days (3.61 years), coming as close as 1.83 AU and reaching as far as 2.89 AU from the sun. 1994 PK11 is about 8.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
1994 PK11's orbit is 0.85 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.
1994 PK11's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 21, 1958. It was last officially observed on June 30, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,823 observations used to determine its orbit.
