About Vesta
Discovered in 1807 by Heinrich Olbers. IAU designation: 4 Vesta. Estimated diameter: 525.4 km. Absolute magnitude H: 3.25.
Mais brilhante asteroide visto da Terra. Visivel a olho nu (mag 5.1 em oposicao).
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.
