38084 (1999 HB12) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 1999 HB12 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
1999 HB12 orbits the sun every 150,000 days (410.68 years), coming as close as 32.56 AU and reaching as far as 77.88 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 1999 HB12 is probably between 102.460 to 229.108 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Connecticut.
1999 HB12's orbit is 31.60 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.
1999 HB12's orbit is determined by observations dating back to March 20, 1999. It was last officially observed on May 23, 2022. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 292 observations used to determine its orbit.
