531077 (2012 DB99) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2012 DB99 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2012 DB99 orbits the sun every 89,800 days (245.86 years), coming as close as 31.75 AU and reaching as far as 46.73 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2012 DB99 is probably between 140.785 to 314.804 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Maryland.
2012 DB99's orbit is 30.80 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.
2012 DB99's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 1, 2003. It was last officially observed on March 18, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 104 observations used to determine its orbit.
