2013 BL76 is a minor planet (Centaur) from the inner Oort Cloud. It holds the record for the minor planet with the largest semi-major axis in the Solar system. With an absolute magnitude (H) of 10.8, and an estimated comet-like albedo of 0.4, the object has an estimated diameter of 15km. Since it has not been seen out-gassing, it is not known if it is a comet or not.
2013 BL76 came to perihelion 8.3AU from the Sun in October 2012 when it reached an apparent magnitude of about 20. In 1927, when it was 100AU from the Sun, it had an apparent magnitude of about 30.8. For comparison dwarf planet 90377 Sedna had an apparent magnitude of 21.7 when it was 100AU from the Sun.
