eccentricity

I think the punnery in the article text is clever, but the orbit pictured does not seem "unusually eccentric" for an asteroid. In fact, it has below-average eccentricity according to "Asteroid belt#Orbits:" "Most asteroids within the asteroid belt have orbital eccentricities of less than 0.4…."

- I also removed the line about a lack of (gaseous) outbursts; that is also normal for main-belt asteroids. Nicole Sharp (talk) 06:08, 18 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
