2011 GN27 is a large asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2011 GN27 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2011 GN27 orbits the sun every 22,800 days (62.42 years), coming as close as 9.45 AU and reaching as far as 22.05 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2011 GN27 is probably between 76.658 to 171.412 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2011 GN27's orbit is 8.48 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.
2011 GN27's orbit is determined by observations dating back to April 2, 2011. It was last officially observed on April 4, 2011. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 11 observations used to determine its orbit.
