Key Facts

Overview

Julianoey is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Julianoey as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.

Julianoey orbits the sun every 1,340 days (3.67 years), coming as close as 2.20 AU and reaching as far as 2.56 AU from the sun. Julianoey is about 4.9 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.

The rotation of Julianoey has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 3.24 hours.

No Close Approaches

Julianoey's orbit is 1.20 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.

Images and Observations

Julianoey's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 28, 1954. It was last officially observed on June 10, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,784 observations used to determine its orbit.

Accessibility and Exploration

This asteroid is not considered a viable target for human exploration by the NHATS study.
