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.

37588 Lynnecox           Discovered 1991 Apr. 15 by C. S. Shoemaker and D. H. Levy at Palomar.
The long-distance swims of Lynne Cox (b. 1957), especially across the Bering Strait in near-freezing waters in 1987, have inspired the world. Her 2004 book Swimming to Antarctica contains beautifully worded descriptions of astronomical phenomena, such as the aurora borealis, witnessed during her nighttime swims.
