2004 DL71 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2004 DL71 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2004 DL71 orbits the sun every 107,000 days (292.95 years), coming as close as 44.24 AU and reaching as far as 44.24 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2004 DL71 is probably between 99.210 to 221.840 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Connecticut.
2004 DL71's orbit is 43.20 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.
2004 DL71's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 27, 2004. It was last officially observed on March 15, 2004. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 4 observations used to determine its orbit.
