2015 FU390 is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified 2015 FU390 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2015 FU390 orbits the sun every 1,420 days (3.89 years), coming as close as 2.14 AU and reaching as far as 2.79 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2015 FU390 is probably between 0.970 to 2.168 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. Pentagon.
2015 FU390's orbit is 1.15 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.
2015 FU390's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 9, 2007. It was last officially observed on May 15, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 109 observations used to determine its orbit.
