578993 (2014 JP80) is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2014 JP80 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2014 JP80 orbits the sun every 90,900 days (248.87 years), coming as close as 36.64 AU and reaching as far as 42.48 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2014 JP80 is probably between 256.186 to 572.849 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Virginia.
The rotation of 2014 JP80 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 0.50 hours.
2014 JP80's orbit is 35.70 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 JP80's orbit is determined by observations dating back to July 19, 2010. It was last officially observed on June 27, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 330 observations used to determine its orbit.
