2007 CQ79 is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2007 CQ79 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2007 CQ79 orbits the sun every 111,000 days (303.90 years), coming as close as 41.92 AU and reaching as far as 48.60 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2007 CQ79 is probably between 113.385 to 253.536 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Connecticut.
2007 CQ79's orbit is 40.90 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.
2007 CQ79's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 10, 2005. It was last officially observed on March 20, 2021. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 26 observations used to determine its orbit.
