612245 (2001 QX322) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 QX322 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 QX322 orbits the sun every 165,000 days (451.75 years), coming as close as 35.73 AU and reaching as far as 82.03 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 QX322 is probably between 133.830 to 299.254 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Massachusetts.
2001 QX322's orbit is 34.80 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.
2001 QX322's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 19, 2001. It was last officially observed on Dec. 1, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 89 observations used to determine its orbit.
