| May 18, 2023 at 10:04 | comment | added | blademan9999 | But my coment also applies to any passage near a star, Unless the star has a VERY low proper motion relative to the star, it will be possible for the asteroid to turn 180 degrees form the perspective of observers in the Sun's reference frame. | |
| May 17, 2023 at 14:00 | comment | added | uhoh | @blademan9999 I think that a "rouge gas gianst travelling through the oort cloud" would not be considered "under normal situations". I think as written my statement is fine. Why not add a supplementary answer beginning with something like "While uhoh mentions 'normal situations' there are certainly other kinematic scenarios we can consider." I think that would be great! :-) | |
| May 17, 2023 at 11:35 | comment | added | blademan9999 | "Under normal situations an asteroid or planet could not swing around a massive object, make a U-turn, and come straight back nearly along it's same path after a 180° deflection. " This is only true from the perspective of the reference frame where the object is stationary, from other reference frames the asteroid can appear to turn 180. A rouge gas gianst travelling through the oort cloud could give what is a 90 degree trun from it's reference frame but a 180 degree turn from the perspective of the sun's reference frame. | |

| May 10, 2020 at 2:01 | comment | added | uhoh | Why the down vote? Is this not in fact a correct answer to What natural mechanisms could lead to the unlikely case of the same rogue asteroid or planet passing through our solar system twice? | |
