DescriptionComet78P2029.png | The orbit of comet 78P/Gehrels 2. Comet 78P/Gehrels' aphelion (furthest distance fom the Sun) of 5.4AU is in the zone of control of the giant planet Jupiter and the orbit of the comet is frequently perturbed by Jupiter. On September 15, 2029, the comet will pass within 0.018AU (2.7 million kilometers) of Jupiter and be strongly perturbed. By the year 2200, the comet will have a centaur-like orbit with a perihelion (closest distance to the Sun) near Jupiter. This outward migration from a perihelion of 2AU to a perihelion of ~5AU could cause the comet to go dormant. |
