    Orbit

    With an orbital period of 364.3 days, 1998 UP1 is in a near 1:1 orbital resonance with Earth. Although their periods are almost identical, their orbits are very different; 1998 UP1 has a highly eccentric orbit and moves between 0.65–1.35 AU from the Sun, it is also very highly inclined at 33°.[2] The preliminary period of 1998 UP1 was originally thought to be slightly longer than 1 year[1] producing an error in the predicted position of about 35 degrees; it was selected as a priority for recovery and recovered by the Camarillo Observatory on 12 October 1999.[4]

    1998 UP1 also makes close approaches to Venus and will pass 0.0255 AU (3,810,000 km; 2,370,000 mi) from Venus on 24 January 2115.[5]

    gollark: With stock limit, you'd end up with people stalking the market constantly getting a significant advantage, but casual players not being able to, and them probably selling out in minutes.
    gollark: Stock-limited prizes? Even more ***utterly stupid***.
    gollark: Hmm...
    gollark: Hybrids?
