C/2019 NJ3 Lemmon
more info
Comet C/2019 NJ3 was discovered on 5 July 2019 as an asteroidal objects, almost 1.5 yr before its perihelion passage. Its cometary features was later detected. This comet was observed to 18 February 2021.
Solution given here is based data span over 1.71 yr in a range of heliocentric distances: 5.95 au – 4.36 au (perihelion) – 4.47 au.
This Oort spike comet suffers tiny planetary perturbations during its passage through the planetary system; its future orbit has very large semimajor axis at the level of 100,000 au.
