Motion of 83982 Crantor (2002 GO9) over the time range (−3, 5) kyr is displayed projected onto the ecliptic plane in a coordinate system rotating with Uranus. The orbit and the position of Uranus are also indicated. In this frame of reference and as a result of its non-negligible eccentricity, Uranus describes a small ellipse. The trajectory of the object spirals along Uranus’ orbit at a rate of nearly 008 per year.
