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.

| 6904 McGill | Discovered 1990 Aug. 22 by H. E. Holt at Palomar. |
| One of Canada's oldest and most highly regarded universities, McGill (founded 1838) has enjoyed a first-rate reputation. Once home to Stephen Leacock and physicist Ernest Rutherford, the university has done pioneering research both on the earth in medicine and in space through its department of earth and planetary sciences. |
