139775 (2001 QG298) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 QG298 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 QG298 orbits the sun every 91,500 days (250.51 years), coming as close as 31.78 AU and reaching as far as 47.72 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 QG298 is probably between 108.781 to 243.243 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Connecticut.
The rotation of 2001 QG298 has been observed. It completes a rotation on its axis every 13.77 hours.
2001 QG298's orbit is 30.80 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 QG298's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Aug. 19, 2001. It was last officially observed on Sept. 26, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 382 observations used to determine its orbit.
