524522 Zoozve (2002 VE68)

524522 Zoozve (2002 VE68) is catalogued in this registry as an asteroid, held in the frame of Sol, from Potentially Hazardous Asteroids (JPL SBDB).

Registry id SBDB_20524522 · source layer sbdb · provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented

Open 524522 Zoozve (2002 VE68) in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.

Orbit

These are the sourced elements. This page does not print a position: a position is a function of time, and a single one dated to the bake would be stale the moment it was read. The registry composes a position for any date, past or future, from these elements — open the scene below and set the clock.

Elements are expressed in the frame of SOL at epoch 2026-06-09 00:00:00 UTC (JD 2461200.5). Gravitational parameter of the primary: 1.3271244×10^20 m³/s². Semi-major axis in astronomical units uses the IAU 2012 definition (1 au = 1.495978707×10^11 m exactly).

Snapshot2026-07-29
Coverage2547 PHAs incl. 99942 Apophis; heliocentric osculating elements at per-row epoch; radius only where SBDB measures a diameter (340). 2547 of 2547 carry their JPL orbit solution. Each object carries its JPL orbit solution: observations used, arc, residual rms, producer and the MPC uncertainty parameter U (0-9), whose in-orbit longitude runoff band is derived from the MPC's published definition. The MPC states that "the U value should not be used as a predictor for the uncertainty in the future motion of NEAs" — it classifies the SOLUTION, not the future. The published 6x6 covariance is deliberately NOT carried: it is stated at the solution epoch, a median 2,994 days from the epoch of the elements served here (measured over a 45-object sample), and transporting a correlated uncertainty across that gap needs JPL's own force model, which this registry does not have.
