9513 (1971 UN) is a large asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1971 UN as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1971 UN orbits the sun every 1,400 days (3.83 years), coming as close as 1.87 AU and reaching as far as 3.03 AU from the sun. 1971 UN is about 10.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Boston.
1971 UN's orbit is 0.88 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.
1971 UN's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 3, 1948. It was last officially observed on May 21, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 3,273 observations used to determine its orbit.
