- fghorow 3y agoSomething weird is going on. This site [1] suggests the MOID was about 0.02 AU. [1] https://www.projectpluto.com/neocp2/mpecs/ZTm0038.htm https://www.projectpluto.com/neocp2/mpecs/ZTm0038.htm
- amiralul 3y agoOther source[1] says 0.0002 AU, still very close (about 40,000 km). [1]: https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/scout/object/ZTm0038 https://cneos.jpl.nasa.gov/scout/object/ZTm0038
- lucb1e 3y agoThis, as I understand it, being the closest approach to our orbit, not our atmosphere or so. To put this in perspective, the Earth is some 6.4 Mm in radius, so that's 40-6.4 = 33.6 Mm above the surface.
- lucb1e 3y agoMOID being minimum orbit intersection distance, for anyone else wondering. Sounded like someID (identifier) to me, was wondering why that value was given in AU
- pvg 3y agoMOID is an id that is just that big. You wanted more id, you got MOID.
