Limitation of the Keplerian computation

The positions above use osculating elements at a reference date, propagated forward via the Kepler equation. This ignores gravitational perturbations (mostly Jupiter for main-belt asteroids). For short windows (months to 1-2 years), the typical error is a few hundred arcseconds.

For long-term predictions, close Earth approaches (NEOs such as Apophis 2029), or comets near perihelion with non-gravitational effects (Halley, Hale-Bopp), we recommend JPL Horizons which uses numerical ephemerides (DE440) with full perturbations.

We will refresh the osculating elements every 1-2 years to keep precision useful for science outreach windows.
