Schubart is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Schubart as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Schubart orbits the sun every 2,900 days (7.94 years), coming as close as 3.29 AU and reaching as far as 4.66 AU from the sun. Schubart is about 67.5 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
The rotation of Schubart has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 11.92 hours.
Schubart's spectral type P (Tholen) / None (SMASSII) indicates that it is likely to contain .
Schubart's orbit is 2.31 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.
Schubart's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 27, 1928. It was last officially observed on July 3, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4,573 observations used to determine its orbit.
