1999 SA28 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 1999 SA28 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1999 SA28 orbits the sun every 89,700 days (245.59 years), coming as close as 31.98 AU and reaching as far as 46.48 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1999 SA28 is probably between 94.309 to 210.882 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Connecticut.
1999 SA28's orbit is 31.00 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.
1999 SA28's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 16, 1999. It was last officially observed on Sept. 17, 1999. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 6 observations used to determine its orbit.
