47967 (2000 SL298) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 SL298 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 SL298 orbits the sun every 4,360 days (11.94 years), coming as close as 4.62 AU and reaching as far as 5.83 AU from the sun. 2000 SL298 is about 21.0 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
2000 SL298'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 SL298's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 17, 1983. It was last officially observed on June 25, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,547 observations used to determine its orbit.
