About Icarus
Discovered in 1949 by Walter Baade. IAU designation: 1566 Icarus. Estimated diameter: 1.4 km. Absolute magnitude H: 16.53.
Apohele/Atira. Aproxima-se mais do Sol que Mercurio (perielio 0.187 AU).
Limitation
Osculating elements are from epoch 2461000.5 JD. Keplerian propagation ignores perturbations (especially Jupiter for belt asteroids). For precision beyond months, consult JPL Horizons.
