2013 VP46 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2013 VP46 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2013 VP46 orbits the sun every 122,000 days (334.02 years), coming as close as 35.03 AU and reaching as far as 61.41 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2013 VP46 is probably between 72.203 to 161.451 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2013 VP46's orbit is 34.00 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.
2013 VP46's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 5, 2013. It was last officially observed on Oct. 29, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 38 observations used to determine its orbit.
