2001 FB185 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 FB185 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 FB185 orbits the sun every 104,000 days (284.74 years), coming as close as 39.41 AU and reaching as far as 46.95 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 FB185 is probably between 22.519 to 50.355 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
2001 FB185's orbit is 38.40 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.
2001 FB185's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 27, 2001. It was last officially observed on March 28, 2001. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4 observations used to determine its orbit.
