668956 (2012 PM35), also known as 2020 OG106, is a small main-belt asteroid that made a very close encounter with Ceres in 2017. It flew past the dwarf planet at a distance of 235,000 km (146,000 mi) which is sufficient enough that its gravity was able to slightly perturb the asteroid's orbit and was temporarily lost until 2020. With an absolute magnitude of 17.1, 2012 PM35 is estimated to be around 0.9–2.3 km in diameter.

Venus, Uranus, and Pluto don't have retrograde orbits, they have retrograde rotations.

A retrograde orbit doesn't need to be defined with a negative period, it should just have an inclination greater than 90°, which is exactly what you'll see for those asteroids in the JPL database, and Triton in default Celestia. Same for retrograde rotation and obliquity.

The website https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Jupiter misled me because the 'Orbital Period' of Jupiter's satellites is negative when they are retrograde. :eek:

retrograde orbit
retrograde rotation
apparent retrograde movement
...
The term 'retrograde' is used for multiple reasons

one question : in 'EllipticalOrbit' what is the parameter that causes a moon to rotate in the opposite direction to the rotation of its parent body? :think:

If a moon's orbital inclination is 0° (relative to its planet's equator) it will be coplanar with the planet's equator and prograde, orbiting in the same direction as the planet's rotation. If its inclination is 180° it will be coplanar with the planet's equator and retrograde, orbiting in the opposite direction. In general, if the inclination is less than 90° the orbit will be prograde; if greater than 90°, retrograde. (An inclination of exactly 90° is a polar orbit.)

Therefore, it's a bad idea for the website https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moons_of_Jupiter to display retrograde orbital periods as negative values. They would have been better off adding a column and writing 'retrograde' or 'prograde' in it.
