Yasuofukui is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Yasuofukui as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Yasuofukui orbits the sun every 1,170 days (3.20 years), coming as close as 1.76 AU and reaching as far as 2.59 AU from the sun. Yasuofukui is about 2.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to Mount Everest.
Yasuofukui's orbit is 0.75 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.
Yasuofukui's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 4, 1978. It was last officially observed on May 31, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,693 observations used to determine its orbit.
