2000 DG8 is a dark centaur and damocloid on a retrograde and highly eccentric orbit from the outer region of the Solar System.
[5] It was first observed on 25 February 2000, by astronomers with the LINEAR program at the Lincoln Lab's ETS near Socorro, New Mexico, United States.
[2] Given the body's dark surface and its cometary-like orbit,[2][5] it may be a dormant comet.
It was the third distant object with a retrograde orbit to be discovered, 8 months beaten by 20461 Dioretsa and 1999 LE31.
According to radiometric observations published in 2001 and 2005, 2000 DG8 measures approximately 15.6 and 17.28 kilometers in diameter, with a corresponding albedo 0.053 and 0.027, respectively.
