    Small Bodies
    T he title The Nine Planets is somewhat misleading. In addition to the planets and their satellites the solar system contains a large number of smaller but interesting objects. T here are thousands of known asteroids and comets and undoubtedly many more unknown ones. Most asteroids orbit between Mars and Jupiter . A few (e.g. 2060 Chiron) are farther out. There are also some asteroids whose orbits carry them closer to the Sun than the Earth (Aten, Icarus, Hephaistos). Most comets have highly elliptical orbits which spend most of their time in the outer reaches of the solar system with only brief passages close to the Sun. T he distinction between comets and asteroids is somewhat controversial . The main distinction seems to be that comets have more volatiles and more elliptical orbits. But there are interesting ambiguous cases such as 2060 Chiron (aka 95 P/Chiron) and 3200 Phaethon and the Kuiper Belt objects which seem to share some aspects of both categories. A steroids are sometimes also referred to as minor planets or planetoids (not to be confused with "lesser planets" which refers to Mercury and Pluto ). Very small rocks orbiting the

    LEONID METEOR SHOWER
    March 4 1997, Comet Tempel-Tuttle was spotted "recovered" for the first time in over 30 years. It has a 33yr orbit around the Sun and debris from this comet causes the Leonid Meteor shower as the Earth crosses the comet's orbital path every November 17th. The comet will reach perihelion, it closest approach to the Sun on Feb 28 1998. The Leonid meteor shower may be spectacular as the Earth crosses the comet's orbit just months after it's passage, or possibly in the year 1999. This was the case in November 1966 when we had one of the greatest showers in the last 100 years.
