86377 (2000 AQ12) is a large asteroid that shares Jupiter's orbit around the sun. NASA JPL has not classified 2000 AQ12 as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.
2000 AQ12 orbits the sun every 4,210 days (11.53 years), coming as close as 4.78 AU and reaching as far as 5.42 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness and the way it reflects light, 2000 AQ12 is probably between 8.721 to 19.500 kilometers in diameter, making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
2000 AQ12's orbit is 3.80 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.
2000 AQ12's orbit is determined by observations dating back to Nov. 16, 1999. It was last officially observed on Jan. 22, 2023. The IAU Minor Planet Center records 807 observations used to determine its orbit.
