60608 (2000 EE173) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 EE173 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 EE173 orbits the sun every 124,000 days (339.49 years), coming as close as 22.56 AU and reaching as far as 74.92 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2000 EE173 is probably between 53.772 to 120.238 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Rhode Island.
2000 EE173's orbit is 21.60 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.
2000 EE173's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 3, 2000. It was last officially observed on June 23, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 180 observations used to determine its orbit.
