It probably escaped detection during the earlier surveys due to its relatively high orbital inclination, and the fact that it was at its farthest distance from the ecliptic at the time of its discovery, in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices.
Probablemente non foi detectado durante procuras anteriores debido a súa gran inclinación orbital, de feito foi descuberto cando estaba a súa máxima distancia respecto da eclíptica, na parte norte da constelación de Coma Berenices.
