2016 GC241 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2016 GC241 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2016 GC241 orbits the sun every 36,600 days (100.21 years), coming as close as 13.82 AU and reaching as far as 29.30 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2016 GC241 is probably between 16.016 to 35.813 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
2016 GC241's orbit is 12.80 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.
2016 GC241's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 4, 2012. It was last officially observed on May 27, 2019. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 99 observations used to determine its orbit.
