2012 DD61 is a mid-sized asteroid with an orbit between Jupiter and Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2012 DD61 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2012 DD61 orbits the sun every 7,510 days (20.56 years), coming as close as 3.80 AU and reaching as far as 11.21 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2012 DD61 is probably between 5.815 to 13.003 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the San Francisco Bay.
2012 DD61's orbit is 2.81 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.
2012 DD61's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Feb. 22, 2012. It was last officially observed on June 2, 2014. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 104 observations used to determine its orbit.
