310071 (2010 KR59) is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2010 KR59 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2010 KR59 orbits the sun every 59,200 days (162.08 years), coming as close as 12.97 AU and reaching as far as 46.51 AU from the sun. 2010 KR59 is about 110.1 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
The rotation of 2010 KR59 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 8.99 hours.
2010 KR59'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.
2010 KR59's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 25, 2005. It was last officially observed on June 20, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 538 observations used to determine its orbit.
