Hypsenor is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified Hypsenor as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Hypsenor orbits the sun every 4,240 days (11.61 years), coming as close as 4.94 AU and reaching as far as 5.32 AU from the sun. Hypsenor is about 47.7 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
The rotation of Hypsenor has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 648.00 hours.
Hypsenor's orbit is 3.93 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.
Hypsenor's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 16, 1988. It was last officially observed on July 3, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,225 observations used to determine its orbit.
