2014 UG229 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2014 UG229 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2014 UG229 orbits the sun every 54,600 days (149.49 years), coming as close as 15.71 AU and reaching as far as 40.63 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2014 UG229 is probably between 12.149 to 27.167 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Philadelphia.
2014 UG229's orbit is 14.70 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.
2014 UG229's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 30, 2013. It was last officially observed on Oct. 9, 2015. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 16 observations used to determine its orbit.
