The asteroid 1996 TL66

The eccentric orbit above is the one of the body 1996 TL66. This type of orbit is very unusual among the asteroids. The giant planets have blue orbits and the Centaurs in yellow. The orbits of Pluto and "plutinos" are in green. They are in a 2:3 resonance with Neptune. The Trans-Neptunian-Objects have dark blue orbits.
