2012 VP113 is a dwarf planet whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2012 VP113 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2012 VP113 orbits the sun every 1,660,000 days (4,544.83 years), coming as close as 80.55 AU and reaching as far as 467.25 AU from the sun. Its orbit is highly elliptical. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2012 VP113 is probably between 404.162 to 903.733 kilometers in diameter, making it one of the largest objects, very roughly comparable in size to Great Britain.
2012 VP113's orbit is 79.60 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 VP113's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Oct. 22, 2011. It was last officially observed on Feb. 5, 2020. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 36 observations used to determine its orbit.
