A trans-Neptunian object is any object in the solar system that orbits the sun at a greater distance on average than Neptune . The Kuiper belt, scattered disk, and Oort cloud are three divisions of this volume of space.... discovered by the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking
Near Earth Asteroid Tracking
Near Earth Asteroid Tracking is a program run by NASA and Jet Propulsion Laboratory to discover near-Earth objects. The NEAT system began observations in December 1995.... program on November 14, 2003. It is in a 2:3 orbital Resonance
Orbital resonance
In celestial mechanics, an orbital resonance occurs when two orbiting bodies exert a regular, periodic gravitational influence on each other, usually due to their orbital periods being related by a ratio of two small integers.... with Neptune
NEPTUNE
=Overview=The project, along with sister project, VENUS, offers a unique approach to ocean science. Traditionally, ocean scientists have relied on infrequent ship cruises or space-based satellites to carry out their research.... , placing its categorization as a plutino
Plutino
In astronomy, a plutino is a trans-Neptunian object in 2:3 orbital resonance with Neptune . For every 2 orbits that a Plutino makes, Neptune orbits 3 times.... .
