2001 KA77 is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 KA77 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 KA77 orbits the sun every 119,000 days (325.80 years), coming as close as 42.88 AU and reaching as far as 51.92 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 KA77 is probably between 265.800 to 594.347 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Virginia.
2001 KA77's orbit is 41.90 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 KA77's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 24, 2001. It was last officially observed on Feb. 5, 2006. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 33 observations used to determine its orbit.
