2015 VG165 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2015 VG165 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2015 VG165 orbits the sun every 91,100 days (249.42 years), coming as close as 30.78 AU and reaching as far as 48.46 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2015 VG165 is probably between 48.368 to 108.153 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
2015 VG165's orbit is 29.80 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 VG165's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 17, 2014. It was last officially observed on Sept. 22, 2017. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 43 observations used to determine its orbit.
