Orbit and dynamics
Between its closest point (3.508 AU) and its farthest (-1,575.7 AU), the heliocentric distance changes by -1,579.2 AU over every revolution.
The high eccentricity (1.004) produces a strongly elongated orbit, so the object spends most of its time far from the Sun.
A steep inclination of 37.85° carries it well above and below the ecliptic plane.
Size and surface
Neither a measured diameter nor a reliable absolute magnitude is available for Borisov, so its physical size remains unconstrained.
Observation record and orbit quality
Astrometry from 1,794 individual observations underpins this orbit; the fit leaves an RMS residual of 0.4971 arcseconds.
About these computed values
Orbital periods, perihelion and aphelion speeds, and diameter estimates on this page are computed by SpaceAtlas from the JPL SBDB orbital elements. They are derived quantities, not values copied from the source catalogue.
