    Wow. I find it incredible that objects such as 614689 have only just been discovered in the past couple of years considering that it's essentially just leading Earth in its orbit, makes you wonder how many more there could be!

    With all those bodies flying around it's surprising that there's not more bit hits to earth. It's also pretty incredible that objects so small and so far away are detected.

    • @Silent_Sounds

      it actually happens somewhat frequently that an object from space breaks into the atmosphere and disintegrates before it reaches the surface due to such a high speed in a more viscous environment than the vacuum of space. Actually just this week a meteor broke through the atmosphere where I live in Salt Lake City. Sounded like an explosion went off because of its velocity, but it never struck the surface.

    Is the one eligible for a name the one that goes back and forth in a tadpole orbit ?
    If so, I propose to call it Sisyphus, for the Greek mythological figure that was doomed to the depths Hades, cursed for eternity to push a huge rock to the top of a mountain, only for it to fall back down again, and have to start over again ad infinitum.
    EDIT: Never mind, the name is apparently already taken by 1866, and is already classified as a minor planet.

    How is a flyby also a capture? In order to be captured, wouldn't it have to not be a flyby?
    My best guess is that at some point during its fly by, it loses enough energy to no longer have escape velocity, but then gains it back again before completing an orbit.

    • @PizzaPowerXYZ
      @PizzaPowerXYZ 2 роки тому +2

      9:53 is a good analogy because it doesnt get fully captured, it ends up flying away and so is also a flyby

      If it completely an orbit, it consider a capture. Without an outside force (in this case, the sun), in theory something that orbits a planet once is always capture (I'm sure there some very weird edge cases where this is not the case mind you)

    This just made me think of something. How are scientists able to say astroids like these aren't a danger to the Earth considering the three body problem? Or is that why there's always that tiny percentage of it hitting us usually shown at the end of the prediction? I guess I answered my own question....

    • @Yezpahr
      @Yezpahr 2 роки тому +3

      You partly answered your own question. But in space it is because "the three body problem" is a two-body problem in disguise. (!) The barycenter matters, scale matters, mass matters, distance matters. Those pendulums you see with "the three body problem videos" is actually a four-body problem because it all wants to go down, but the other arms are yanking under momentum and gravity too which won't create nice patterns **ever**, just chaos. But if you had it in zero g and swung the pendulum, everything would work like clockwork, if you had proper masses/swings. (Also, to discuss orbits of these slightly rogue objects the regular pendulum example everybody gives is pointless).
