523736 (2014 QA442) is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2014 QA442 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2014 QA442 orbits the sun every 105,000 days (287.47 years), coming as close as 35.26 AU and reaching as far as 51.92 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2014 QA442 is probably between 239.086 to 534.614 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to South Korea.
2014 QA442's orbit is 34.40 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.
2014 QA442's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Sept. 8, 2010. It was last officially observed on Nov. 23, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 212 observations used to determine its orbit.
