Alicanto is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified Alicanto as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
Alicanto orbits the sun every 2,450,000 days (6,707.73 years), coming as close as 47.33 AU and reaching as far as 663.27 AU from the sun. Its orbit is highly elliptical. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, Alicanto is probably between 135.692 to 303.417 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
Alicanto's orbit is 46.40 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.
Alicanto's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 26, 2000. It was last officially observed on Dec. 1, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 43 observations used to determine its orbit.
