(120216) 2004 EW95 (provisional designation 2004 EW95) is a resonant trans-Neptunian object in the Kuiper belt located in the outermost regions of the Solar System.

Simulations by the Deep Ecliptic Survey (DES) show that over the next 10 million years 2004 EW95 can acquire a perihelion distance (qmin) as small as 24.6 AU.

[10] Unlike the majority of small objects in the Kuiper belt observed so far, the visible spectrum of 2004 EW95 has two features, each respectively associated with ferric oxides and phyllosilicates.

While this energy could have been delivered by a very large chance collision,[13] the strong overall similarity between the modern C-type asteroids in the outer asteroid belt and 2004 EW95 suggests that these objects formed in the same region of the early Sun's protoplanetary disk, much closer to the Sun and at higher temperatures.

By the same mechanism (and others that result from planetary formation),[15] simulations show that C-types can also be thrown outward to the trans-Neptunian region, where later they may become captured into the mean-motion resonances of Neptune.
