Re: New asteroid discovered with a less than one AU orbit

This sounds like a rock a probe should visit. It might be worth setting up a science base there. One of the things it could study is how the gravity of the inner planets effect its this asteroid's orbit.

I wonder how hazardous it would be to send humans to study this asteroid? It gets closer to the Sun than Mercury. Human visitors would need some heavy shielding.
