Laomedon is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified Laomedon as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Laomedon orbits the sun every 4,310 days (11.80 years), coming as close as 4.65 AU and reaching as far as 5.71 AU from the sun. Laomedon is about 37.5 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Houston.
Laomedon's orbit is 3.69 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.
Laomedon's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 31, 1953. It was last officially observed on June 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,635 observations used to determine its orbit.
