553137 (2011 BM170) is a very large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2011 BM170 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2011 BM170 orbits the sun every 152,000 days (416.15 years), coming as close as 37.21 AU and reaching as far as 74.27 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2011 BM170 is probably between 178.055 to 398.144 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Maryland.
2011 BM170's orbit is 36.50 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.
2011 BM170's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 13, 2010. It was last officially observed on April 1, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 94 observations used to determine its orbit.
