Centaurs

[edit]

Centaurs that have highly elliptical orbits so they enter inner solar system? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.64.20.68 (talk) 05:34, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It is a well known fact that the current orbit of a Centaur will evolve over tens of thousands of years as a result of accumulating perturbations. The orbit will either be perturbed inwards or outwards. If it gets perturbed inwards it may even evolve to have an orbit that crosses into the inner Solar System. -- Kheider (talk) 14:33, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

1999 XS35

[edit]

193.64.20.68: Looking at your edit to 1999 XS35, you are correct 1999 XS35 is NOT currently a centaur. -- Kheider (talk) 15:33, 18 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Irrelevant content?

[edit]

Just want to ask for confirmation before I delete this sentence: "The near-Earth object 2009 HC82 has the highest relative velocity to the Earth (282,900 km/h) of objects that come within 0.5 AU of the Earth." That seems completely irrelevant to the Damocloid article. If someone feels it isn't, more information should be added to make the connection obvious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikea1985 (talkcontribs) 16:58, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
