385194 (1998 KG62) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 1998 KG62 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1998 KG62 orbits the sun every 105,000 days (287.47 years), coming as close as 41.47 AU and reaching as far as 45.83 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1998 KG62 is probably between 128.397 to 287.104 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
1998 KG62's orbit is 40.50 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.
1998 KG62's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 20, 1998. It was last officially observed on Sept. 12, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 74 observations used to determine its orbit.
