471165 (2010 HE79) is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2010 HE79 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2010 HE79 orbits the sun every 88,300 days (241.75 years), coming as close as 31.89 AU and reaching as far as 45.71 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2010 HE79 is probably between 233.644 to 522.444 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of South Carolina.
The rotation of 2010 HE79 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 19.49 hours.
2010 HE79's orbit is 30.90 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 HE79's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 24, 1992. It was last officially observed on June 25, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 410 observations used to determine its orbit.
