303775 (2005 QU182) is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2005 QU182 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2005 QU182 orbits the sun every 446,000 days (1,221.08 years), coming as close as 37.13 AU and reaching as far as 191.27 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2005 QU182 is probably between 468.333 to 1047.225 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to Japan.
The rotation of 2005 QU182 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 9.61 hours.
2005 QU182's orbit is 36.10 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.
2005 QU182's orbit is determined by observations dating back to June 17, 1974. It was last officially observed on Nov. 24, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 449 observations used to determine its orbit.
