For comparison, Mercury has a semi-major axis of 0.39 AU and an orbital period of 88 days. Being so close to the Sun, at perihelion the asteroid is moving at 106 km/s (240,000 mph). The relativistic perihelion shift of this object is 1.6 times that of Mercury, which is 42.9 arcseconds per century. 732:
