506028 (2015 HO171) is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2015 HO171 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2015 HO171 orbits the sun every 9,370 days (25.65 years), coming as close as 6.67 AU and reaching as far as 10.73 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2015 HO171 is probably between 10.582 to 23.661 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
2015 HO171's orbit is 5.80 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.
2015 HO171's orbit is determined by observations dating back to May 30, 2014. It was last officially observed on Nov. 1, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 116 observations used to determine its orbit.
