24451 (2000 QS104) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 QS104 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 QS104 orbits the sun every 4,430 days (12.13 years), coming as close as 4.59 AU and reaching as far as 5.97 AU from the sun. 2000 QS104 is about 40.7 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
The rotation of 2000 QS104 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 17.18 hours.
2000 QS104's orbit is 3.61 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.
2000 QS104's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 21, 1954. It was last officially observed on July 1, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,017 observations used to determine its orbit.
