The interactive orbit chart above shows the near-earth object's path through the solar system and its position at the given date.
Green and blue lines are shown perpendicular to the ecliptic plane: Green if the path is above the ecliptic plane, blue if it is below.

Terminology:
delta: distance between NEO and earth in AU or LD
radius: distance between NEO and sun in AU
magn: magnitude (brightness) estimate
ra: right ascension in hours (24h = 360deg)
dec: declination in degrees
elong: elongation in degrees (angle sun-earth-NEO)
phase: phase angle in degrees (angle sun-NEO-earth)
AU: Astronomical Unit: mean distance between earth and sun (149597870.7 km)
