2020 BG60 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2020 BG60 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2020 BG60 orbits the sun every 54,100 days (148.12 years), coming as close as 20.22 AU and reaching as far as 35.74 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2020 BG60 is probably between 26.580 to 59.435 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of New York.
2020 BG60's orbit is 19.20 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.
2020 BG60's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 3, 2013. It was last officially observed on Jan. 18, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 47 observations used to determine its orbit.
