Here’s the latest I can provide based on current public information.
Core answer
- Crikey 57567 is an asteroid (also designated 1995 UR41 / 2001 TS56) with an orbital semi-major axis around 3.19 AU, inclination about 2.6 degrees, and an orbital period of roughly 2,076 days. It’s not known to have any close approaches to Earth.
Details and context
- The asteroid Crikey (57567) was observed with data dating back to 1990, with its orbit well constrained by dozens to hundreds of observations. It orbits the Sun in the main asteroid belt and does not pose any near-term impact risk based on current orbital models. This is supported by JPL/NASA and asteroid databases that track orbital elements and close-approach histories.[1][2]
- Public references to Crikey range from asteroid databases (which provide orbital elements, absolute magnitude around 14.9 to 15.1, and provisional designations like 1995 UR41 and 2001 TS56) to news outlets that mention Crikey in unrelated contexts (such as the Australian Crikey media outlet).[2][3][4][1]
Notes on sources
- For precise orbital parameters (epoch, eccentricity, inclination, etc.), the Space Reference entry consolidates observational history and orbital elements from standard catalogs. These values are typically updated as new observations are made and reflected in MPC/JPL databases.[2]
- The term Crikey also appears as the name of an Australian media site, Crikey, which is different from the asteroid. Always verify the context when you see the name to avoid confusion between the asteroid and the media outlet.[3][4][10]
Would you like me to pull the most current orbital elements and any recent observed apparitions for Crikey 57567 from a specific database, or provide a quick visual diagram of its orbit relative to Earth’s orbit? I can also summarize any recent news mentions that specifically reference the asteroid.
Sources
Crikey'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. Crikey's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 18, 1990. It was last officially observed on May 26, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 818 observations used to determine its orbit.
