2010 VE253 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2010 VE253 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2010 VE253 orbits the sun every 66,200 days (181.25 years), coming as close as 16.47 AU and reaching as far as 47.61 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2010 VE253 is probably between 26.950 to 60.262 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of New York.
2010 VE253's orbit is 15.50 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 VE253's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 15, 2009. It was last officially observed on Feb. 15, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 73 observations used to determine its orbit.
