145627 (2006 RY102) is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2006 RY102 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2006 RY102 orbits the sun every 5,910 days (16.18 years), coming as close as 4.55 AU and reaching as far as 8.24 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2006 RY102 is probably between 15.085 to 33.732 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Denver.
2006 RY102's orbit is 3.57 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.
2006 RY102's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 7, 1983. It was last officially observed on Dec. 22, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 954 observations used to determine its orbit.
