9747 (1989 AT) is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 1989 AT as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1989 AT orbits the sun every 1,920 days (5.26 years), coming as close as 2.65 AU and reaching as far as 3.40 AU from the sun. 1989 AT is about 9.2 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
The rotation of 1989 AT has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 13.47 hours.
1989 AT's orbit is 1.66 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.
1989 AT's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Jan. 4, 1989. It was last officially observed on June 27, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,846 observations used to determine its orbit.
