7569 (1989 BK) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1989 BK as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1989 BK orbits the sun every 1,490 days (4.08 years), coming as close as 1.79 AU and reaching as far as 3.32 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1989 BK is probably between 6.202 to 13.869 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1989 BK has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 3.60 hours.
1989 BK's orbit is 0.81 AU from Earth's orbit at its closest point. This means that there is a very 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.
1989 BK's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 23, 1955. It was last officially observed on June 23, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,256 observations used to determine its orbit.
