2016 FW58 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2016 FW58 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2016 FW58 orbits the sun every 99,500 days (272.42 years), coming as close as 39.56 AU and reaching as far as 44.48 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2016 FW58 is probably between 73.545 to 164.452 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2016 FW58's orbit is 38.60 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 FW58's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 28, 2016. It was last officially observed on April 1, 2016. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 12 observations used to determine its orbit.
