Dear List,
  
  Is there a site which gives a geocentric ephemeris
for J002E3?
  BTW, the capture theory of the origin of the Moon
was always looked upon with disdain because of the
high odds of capture. Yet, the evidence for the
Mars-size body impact of the Earth is not extremely
compelling, except by default, because of the flaws of
other ideas. But, when one glances around the solar
system, one finds captured objects everywhere;
Hyperion, Phoebe, Triton, Phobos, Deimos...and now our
own Apollo 12 SIVB has come back to haunt us. Although
the Moon's presence helped its capture, and will
ultimately assist in its ejection next year,
nonetheless it does offer an inspiration for a new
look at the capture theory of the origin of the Moon,
does it not?
