Could asteroid YU55 change the moon's orbit? The linked animation shows it very close to the moon!

That could really mess things up if it did change the moon's orbit.
Quoting: Everyday is Friday Not going to happen. Just as a way of illustrating how miniscule the gravity of an asteroid is, even very large asteroids like Vesta have a surface gravity of about 0.022 g's. 2005 YU55 is not going to appreciably effect the moon's orbit in any way. You've given me a new fun idea to sim in ORSA though.
