315898 (2008 QD4) is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2008 QD4 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2008 QD4 orbits the sun every 8,830 days (24.18 years), coming as close as 5.40 AU and reaching as far as 11.32 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2008 QD4 is probably between 13.885 to 31.048 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Philadelphia.
2008 QD4's orbit is 4.64 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.
2008 QD4's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 25, 2008. It was last officially observed on May 26, 2019. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 277 observations used to determine its orbit.
