[quote:Astromut:MV8xODAyMzQ1XzI5OTc4MzQ1X0JFREQ2QkM=] I set my computer to calculate what the region of uncertainty will look like during next year's close approach given the current astrometric data. I ran a series of Monte Carlo solutions from the data to generate the region of uncertainty and then loaded it into ORSA to see what it will look like during the February 2013 approach. It misses earth of course, but exactly how close it gets will really depend on how precise the current orbital data really is. The center of the region, the most likely location for the asteroid during the apporach, is at about the closest possible point of approach. The "tails" of the region of uncertainty are farther from earth. It's hard to describe, but I'll make a video of it later. [/quote]

I used both programs to plot the upcoming Close Passage. It looks a lot like 2011 MD to me.
