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.

9994 Grotius | Discovered 1960 Sept. 24 by C. J. van Houten and I. van Houten-Groeneveld on Palomar Schmidt plates taken by T. Gehrels. |
The works Mare Liberum (1609; "Free Access to the Ocean for all nations") and De Jure Belli ac Pacis (1625; "On the Law of War and Peace") of the Dutch statesman Hugo Grotius (Huig de Groot, 1583-1645) laid the foundation for modern international law. |
