2018 VM35, is a trans-Neptunian object. With a perihelion distance greater than 40 AU, it is considered a detached object. At it's discovery it is only the 10th object known with a perihelion over 45 AU and semimajor axis over 150 AU.[3] It will reach its perihelion on August 14, 2057, and will be closest to earth in February 2058, only reaching magnitude 24.3.
