For accurate long-term ephemerides, please instead use our Horizons system.This orbit viewer was implemented using two-body methods, and hence should not be used for determining accurate long-term trajectories (over several years or decades) or planetary encounter circumstances.

| 85197 Ginkgo | Discovered 1991 Oct. 5 by F. Börngen and L. D. Schmadel at Tautenburg. |
| The tree Ginkgo biloba, in German also named "Goethe Baum", is a living fossil, unchanged since the Permian period some 270 million years ago. The attractive Ginkgoes have fan-shaped leaves, can reach a height of 40 meters and are popular in Chinese and Japanese temple gardens and elsewhere. |
