2021 LV43 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2021 LV43 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2021 LV43 orbits the sun every 120,000 days (328.54 years), coming as close as 33.48 AU and reaching as far as 61.92 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2021 LV43 is probably between 19.886 to 44.467 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
2021 LV43's orbit is 32.50 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.
2021 LV43's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 9, 2021. It was last officially observed on Sept. 6, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 12 observations used to determine its orbit.
