2015 GP55 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2015 GP55 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2015 GP55 orbits the sun every 79,600 days (217.93 years), coming as close as 31.74 AU and reaching as far as 40.70 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2015 GP55 is probably between 60.891 to 136.157 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2015 GP55's orbit is 30.70 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.
2015 GP55's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 17, 2015. It was last officially observed on March 30, 2017. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 34 observations used to determine its orbit.
