23118 (2000 AU27) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 AU27 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 AU27 orbits the sun every 4,310 days (11.80 years), coming as close as 4.12 AU and reaching as far as 6.24 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2000 AU27 is probably between 9.474 to 21.186 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
2000 AU27's orbit is 3.14 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.
2000 AU27's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 29, 1997. It was last officially observed on March 18, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 1,525 observations used to determine its orbit.
