2004 EG96 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2004 EG96 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2004 EG96 orbits the sun every 150,000 days (410.68 years), coming as close as 32.07 AU and reaching as far as 78.21 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2004 EG96 is probably between 63.468 to 141.919 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2004 EG96's orbit is 31.10 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 EG96's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 14, 2004. It was last officially observed on July 9, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 29 observations used to determine its orbit.
