Hello all,
In August 2000, the near Earth asteroid Mithra 4486 will make a very close
approach to Earth at 0.047AU (7 million km) on the Aug 13th, deep in the
southern skies at 11th magnitude (sorry northerners).
My problem is that I have 2 Mithra's on screen.
One from the MPC soft02unusual.txt file with the epoch of elements at 13 Sep
2000 and the other one inbuilt into Guide 7 with epoch of elements at 25
July 2000.
Which is the more accurate set of elements?
Cheers,
Michael Mattiazzo,
