90568 (2004 GV9) is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2004 GV9 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2004 GV9 orbits the sun every 98,500 days (269.68 years), coming as close as 38.71 AU and reaching as far as 44.79 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2004 GV9 is probably between 423.209 to 946.324 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to Great Britain.
The rotation of 2004 GV9 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 5.86 hours.
2004 GV9's orbit is 37.80 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 GV9's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 21, 1954. It was last officially observed on June 17, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 353 observations used to determine its orbit.
