Hello, Bill and the list,

I went on the internet and got the orbital elements for 2002 NY40, the
asteroid that will make a close pass to the Earth on Aug. 17.
I did CTRL+K to enter the elements. Here are the elements that were on
the JPL website:

2002 NY40
epoch = 52400
a = 2.0406306
e = 0.71027602
i = 5.77204
w = 268.27294
Node = 146.86145
M = 308.6135465
H = 18.86
G = 0.15

The date of perigee is not given in the JPL o.e.'s. Can anyone tell me
how to compute it or how to input it the elements into Guide without it?

Thanks in advance.

Roger in Jacksonville, FL
