2004 VN112 also written as 2004 VN112 is a detached object (because its perihelion is greater than 40 AU). It never gets closer than 47 AU from the Sun (about the outer edge of the main Kuiper belt) and averages more than 300 AU from the Sun. Its large eccentricity strongly suggests that it was gravitationally scattered onto its current orbit. Because it is like all detached objects outside of the current influence of Neptune how it came to have this orbit cannot yet be explained.
