2012 UE185 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2012 UE185 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2012 UE185 orbits the sun every 98,700 days (270.23 years), coming as close as 35.48 AU and reaching as far as 48.14 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2012 UE185 is probably between 135.692 to 303.417 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
2012 UE185's orbit is 34.50 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.
2012 UE185's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 23, 2012. It was last officially observed on Jan. 19, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 66 observations used to determine its orbit.
