2016 FX58 is a very large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2016 FX58 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2016 FX58 orbits the sun every 145,000 days (396.99 years), coming as close as 38.63 AU and reaching as far as 69.63 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2016 FX58 is probably between 183.889 to 411.188 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Maryland.
2016 FX58's orbit is 37.60 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 FX58's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 17, 2013. It was last officially observed on Feb. 26, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 23 observations used to determine its orbit.
