2022 OU15 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2022 OU15 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2022 OU15 orbits the sun every 60,500 days (165.64 years), coming as close as 12.96 AU and reaching as far as 47.34 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2022 OU15 is probably between 19.167 to 42.859 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Indianapolis.
2022 OU15's orbit is 12.00 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.
2022 OU15's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 24, 2014. It was last officially observed on Sept. 2, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 79 observations used to determine its orbit.
