82157 (2001 FM185) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 FM185 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 FM185 orbits the sun every 86,800 days (237.65 years), coming as close as 36.17 AU and reaching as far as 40.55 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 FM185 is probably between 103.886 to 232.295 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Connecticut.
2001 FM185's orbit is 35.20 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 FM185's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 26, 2001. It was last officially observed on May 8, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 149 observations used to determine its orbit.
