Euneus is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified Euneus as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Euneus orbits the sun every 4,280 days (11.72 years), coming as close as 4.82 AU and reaching as far as 5.49 AU from the sun. Euneus is about 39.8 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Houston.
The rotation of Euneus has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 9.73 hours.
Euneus's orbit is 3.83 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.
Euneus's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 19, 1973. It was last officially observed on April 9, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,439 observations used to determine its orbit.
