Plenty could depend (for the Feb. 1, 2019 encounter) on the giants. I'm hoping Jupiter will be hungry for another moon, but it doesn't seem likely in this case. Unlike comets, asteroids seem to be more saavy at riding along that 'space superhighway system'.

JPL's NEO site is slow right now.

        Measuring the slight changes in orbit caused by encounters with Earth mars and ?Venus? might also help to analyse the object's composition - Scott - 7/24/2002 8:30:28 AM
