(612349) 2002 GH32, also written as (612349) 2002 GH32, is a trans-Neptunian object that is located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the Solar System. This celestial body is classified as a cubewano. It orbits the sun every 98,900 days (270.77 years), coming as close as 38.301 AU and reaching as far as 45.96 AU from the sun. Based on its brightness of 6.26[3]and the way it reflects light, 2002 GH32 is probably between 148.784 to 332.690 kilometers in diameter, with the best estimate being about 230 killometers[1] making it larger than 99% of asteroids, very roughly comparable in size to the U.S. state of Maryland.
