2010 VE21 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2010 VE21 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2010 VE21 orbits the sun every 11,400 days (31.21 years), coming as close as 7.65 AU and reaching as far as 12.16 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2010 VE21 is probably between 8.027 to 17.949 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Boston.
2010 VE21's orbit is 6.76 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.
2010 VE21's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 11, 2007. It was last officially observed on Feb. 5, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 31 observations used to determine its orbit.
