    2010 BK118 came to perihelion in April 2012 at a distance of 6.1 AU from the Sun (outside the orbit of Jupiter).[4] It has a Jupiter-MOID of 1.1 AU.[4] As of 2016, it is 11 AU from the Sun.[6]

    It will not be 50 AU from the Sun until 2043. After leaving the planetary region of the Solar System, 2010 BK118 will have a barycentric aphelion of 791 AU with an orbital period of 8000 years.

    Notes


    1. Given the orbital eccentricity of this object, different epochs can generate quite different heliocentric unperturbed two-body best-fit solutions to the semi-major axis and orbital period. For objects at such high eccentricity, the Sun's barycentric coordinates are more stable than heliocentric coordinates. Using JPL Horizons, the barycentric semi-major axis is approximately 399 AU.[7]
