I present behavior of the dynamically interesting potentially dangerous asteroid (29075) 1950 DA. Using the public available OrbFit software I studied orbit of asteroid 900 years forward in the future searching for close approaches with the Earth, which lead to possible impact in 2880.

Abstract


I present behavior of the dynamically interesting potentially dangerous asteroid (29075) 1950 DA. Using the public available OrbFit software I studied orbit of asteroid 900 years forward in the future searching for close approaches with the Earth, which lead to possible impact in 2880.
