About Pallas
Discovered in 1802 by Heinrich Olbers. IAU designation: 2 Pallas. Estimated diameter: 512.6 km. Absolute magnitude H: 4.11.
Terceiro maior asteroide. Orbita altamente inclinada.
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.
