2016 GR206 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2016 GR206 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2016 GR206 orbits the sun every 33,000 days (90.35 years), coming as close as 18.59 AU and reaching as far as 21.65 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2016 GR206 is probably between 37.545 to 83.954 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
2016 GR206's orbit is 17.60 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 GR206's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 24, 2010. It was last officially observed on June 17, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 134 observations used to determine its orbit.
