[CygnusXI]

Argh..
Never thought of that!

Does anyone know the orbital frequency of this puppy?

No, but it's orbit is mainly inside the earths orbit, so my guess would be about a year but that is only a guess.

Does anyone know the orbital frequency of this puppy?

The orbital period is about 252 days. This was prior to today's encounter. Today's close encounter will change the period by a degree that remains to be determined.

Your question about the orbital period of the asteroid prompted me to use the pre-encounter orbital data to see if there are other close encounters in the near future. I ran it out for 50 years and found the next closest encounter appears to occur 19.99923 years hence: the asteroid would be in the same place in its orbit as it is during its current close encounter; however, Earth in its orbit would arrive at the same as its current position 6 hours and 45 minutes later.

These are just the musings of an incurable number cruncher. As I pointed out in the earlier post to you, the current encounter will change the orbital period of the asteroid by some degree.
