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.

| 15068 Wiegert | Discovered 1999 Jan. 13 by Spacewatch at Kitt Peak. |
| Paul Wiegert (b. 1967) studied at Simon Fraser University, University of Toronto, York University and Queen's University. He helped identify (3753) Cruithne as the first minor planet known to be co-orbital with the earth. The name was suggested by R. Jedicke and P. Jedicke. |
