Harimaya-Bashi is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Harimaya-Bashi as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Harimaya-Bashi orbits the sun every 2,090 days (5.72 years), coming as close as 3.00 AU and reaching as far as 3.40 AU from the sun. Harimaya-Bashi is about 28.9 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
The rotation of Harimaya-Bashi has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 7.24 hours.
Harimaya-Bashi's spectral type None (Tholen) / Xc (SMASSII) indicates that it is likely to contain iron, nickel, cobalt, and platinum.
Harimaya-Bashi's orbit is 2.02 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.
Harimaya-Bashi's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 23, 1938. It was last officially observed on May 13, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,745 observations used to determine its orbit.
