(690420) 2014 FC72 is a trans-Neptunian object, classified as a scattered and detached object, located in the outermost region of the Solar System. It was first observed on 24 March 2014 by astronomers with the Pan-STARRS survey at Haleakala Observatory, Hawaii, United States.[1] With its perihelion distant from Neptune, it belongs to a small and poorly understood group of objects with moderate eccentricities.[9][10] It is estimated to measure 500 kilometers (300 miles) in diameter, assuming a low albedo.
