19933 (1981 EW5) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1981 EW5 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1981 EW5 orbits the sun every 1,490 days (4.08 years), coming as close as 2.17 AU and reaching as far as 2.94 AU from the sun. 1981 EW5 is about 9.5 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
1981 EW5's orbit is 1.18 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.
1981 EW5's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 2, 1981. It was last officially observed on April 23, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,913 observations used to determine its orbit.
