516386 (2018 DX) is a mid-sized asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2018 DX as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2018 DX orbits the sun every 4,230 days (11.58 years), coming as close as 4.84 AU and reaching as far as 5.40 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2018 DX is probably between 5.869 to 13.123 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
2018 DX's orbit is 3.86 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.
2018 DX's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 14, 2004. It was last officially observed on June 27, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 144 observations used to determine its orbit.
