Anezka is a large asteroid that orbits between Mars and Jupiter in the outer reaches of the main asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Anezka as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Anezka orbits the sun every 2,090 days (5.72 years), coming as close as 2.70 AU and reaching as far as 3.71 AU from the sun. Anezka is about 12.3 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
The rotation of Anezka has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 4.47 hours.
Anezka's orbit is 1.70 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.
Anezka's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 19, 1977. It was last officially observed on June 24, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 2,799 observations used to determine its orbit.
