523965 (1998 XY95) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 1998 XY95 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1998 XY95 orbits the sun every 188,000 days (514.72 years), coming as close as 37.29 AU and reaching as far as 91.23 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1998 XY95 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.
1998 XY95's orbit is 36.30 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.
1998 XY95's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 12, 1998. It was last officially observed on Feb. 20, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 131 observations used to determine its orbit.
