2016 FS59 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2016 FS59 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2016 FS59 orbits the sun every 98,500 days (269.68 years), coming as close as 32.04 AU and reaching as far as 51.46 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2016 FS59 is probably between 32.104 to 71.786 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
2016 FS59's orbit is 31.10 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.
2016 FS59's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 29, 2016. It was last officially observed on April 1, 2016. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 12 observations used to determine its orbit.
