Description
English: Heliocentric orbit of asteroid that impacted near Chelyabinsk Russia The diagram shows the orbit of the impactor about the Sun. The orbit reaches from the asteroid belt at its farthest from the Sun to near the orbit of Venus at its closest to the Sun. The impactor had likely been following this orbit for many thousands of years, crossing the Earth's orbit every time on its outbound leg.
