162 Laurentia is a large, dark main-belt asteroid, with a diameter of roughly 97 km, it orbits between Mars and Jupiter with a 5.24-year period. It is not a near-Earth asteroid and poses no threat. Due to its location in the main belt, it is generally very close to the Sun in the sky, making it hard to observe from Earth.
