5814 (1988 XW1) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1988 XW1 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1988 XW1 orbits the sun every 1,920 days (5.26 years), coming as close as 2.71 AU and reaching as far as 3.33 AU from the sun. 1988 XW1 is about 15.9 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Philadelphia.
1988 XW1's orbit is 1.73 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.
1988 XW1's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 1, 1951. It was last officially observed on June 29, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,481 observations used to determine its orbit.
