Only for curiosity I have calculated the extreme speeds of the asteroids at perihelium and aphelium.

Half a million kilometres an hour!!!!!!!

Wow! Thanks Pierpaolo. Pretty amazing speeds. No wonder they worry about if they hit Earth.

Hi Pierpaolo,

Thanks for "crunching the numbers" and for re-enforcing the Italian national obsession
for things that go fast.

Ah, but with panache and elan

If we get hit, I won't mind if it has " scissor doors" and a bull on the front

Hi Carl,

You are undoubtedly referring to fast moving objects such as
Minor Planet 700-4 (Aventador).

Of course

Although, it could go into orbit around the planet Veyron, in the Bugatti system.
