sentences:  Calculations by the Minor Planet Center in 1997 showed that the eccentric orbit of comes within 6.9 AU of Uranus and stays more than 22.6 AU from Neptune over a 14,000-year period centered on the present.In 2000, this object came closest to the Sun (perihelion) at 26.3 AU, and has since moved away to a distance of 29.2 AU by the end of 2018.This means that this small plutino is still well inside the orbit of Neptune which has a semi-major axis of 30.1 AU.
