Ettoremajorana is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter within the inner portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Ettoremajorana as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Ettoremajorana orbits the sun every 998 days (2.73 years), coming as close as 1.78 AU and reaching as far as 2.13 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Ettoremajorana is probably between 2.161 to 4.831 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to Mount Everest.
Ettoremajorana's orbit is 0.80 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
Ettoremajorana's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 31, 1997. It was last officially observed on Sept. 16, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,951 observations used to determine its orbit.
