NASA Orbit Simulation

"The orbits shown in the applet are color coded. The planets are white lines, and the asteroid/comet is a blue line. The bright white line indicates the portion of the orbit that is above the ecliptic plane, and the darker portion is below the ecliptic plane. Likewise for the asteroid/comet orbit, the light blue indicates the portion above the ecliptic plane, and the dark blue the portion below the ecliptic plane."

2004 HR56 (also written 2004 HR56) is a small Earth-crossing asteroid belonging to the Apollo family and was visible between April 25 to May 10, 2005.
