65223 (2002 EU34) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2002 EU34 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2002 EU34 orbits the sun every 4,400 days (12.05 years), coming as close as 4.87 AU and reaching as far as 5.63 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2002 EU34 is probably between 8.367 to 18.709 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Boston.
The rotation of 2002 EU34 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 260.00 hours.
2002 EU34's orbit is 3.89 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.
2002 EU34's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 31, 1986. It was last officially observed on March 13, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 746 observations used to determine its orbit.
