524365 (2001 XQ254) is a large asteroid whose orbit extends beyond the orbit of Neptune. NASA JPL has not classified 2001 XQ254 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2001 XQ254 orbits the sun every 150,000 days (410.68 years), coming as close as 31.01 AU and reaching as far as 79.39 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2001 XQ254 is probably between 70.235 to 157.051 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Delaware.
2001 XQ254's orbit is 30.00 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.
2001 XQ254's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Dec. 10, 2001. It was last officially observed on Feb. 20, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 81 observations used to determine its orbit.
