Orbit edit
With an orbital period of 364.3 days, 1998 UP1 is in a near 1:1 orbital resonance with Earth. Although their periods are almost identical, their orbits are very different; 1998 UP1 has a highly eccentric orbit and moves between 0.65–1.35 AU from the Sun, it is also very highly inclined at 33°.[2] The preliminary period of 1998 UP1 was originally thought to be slightly longer than 1 year[1] producing an error in the predicted position of about 35 degrees; it was selected as a priority for recovery and recovered by the Camarillo Observatory on 12 October 1999.[4]
1998 UP1 also makes close approaches to Venus and passed 0.0255 AU (3,810,000 km; 2,370,000 mi) from Venus on 24 January 2115.[5]
