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.

6921 Janejacobs           Discovered 1993 May 14 by S. Ueda and H. Kaneda at Kushiro.
Having moved to New York City during the Depression, Jane Jacobs (1916-2006) was way ahead of her time in championing the idea that cities are more important than nations in the "real economic world". Cities should not be laboratories for ill-placed expressways and housing projects but left to develop by themselves.
