612798 (2004 PA112) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2004 PA112 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2004 PA112 orbits the sun every 89,800 days (245.86 years), coming as close as 34.71 AU and reaching as far as 43.79 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2004 PA112 is probably between 84.831 to 189.688 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2004 PA112's orbit is 33.80 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.
2004 PA112's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 13, 2004. It was last officially observed on Oct. 3, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 59 observations used to determine its orbit.
