2007 CR79 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2007 CR79 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2007 CR79 orbits the sun every 117,000 days (320.33 years), coming as close as 36.76 AU and reaching as far as 57.10 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2007 CR79 is probably between 88.421 to 197.715 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2007 CR79's orbit is 35.80 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.
2007 CR79's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 10, 2005. It was last officially observed on April 8, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 21 observations used to determine its orbit.
