2015 RD277 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2015 RD277 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2015 RD277 orbits the sun every 49,100 days (134.43 years), coming as close as 18.52 AU and reaching as far as 33.98 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2015 RD277 is probably between 20.163 to 45.086 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
2015 RD277's orbit is 17.50 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.
2015 RD277's orbit is determined by observations dating back to July 19, 2015. It was last officially observed on Nov. 22, 2017. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 33 observations used to determine its orbit.
