501581 (2014 OB394) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2014 OB394 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2014 OB394 orbits the sun every 118,000 days (323.07 years), coming as close as 35.03 AU and reaching as far as 59.25 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2014 OB394 is probably between 145.397 to 325.117 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Maryland.
2014 OB394's orbit is 34.00 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.
2014 OB394's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 31, 2010. It was last officially observed on July 1, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 303 observations used to determine its orbit.
