Caption: Figure 7.

Top left panel: mean geocentric Cartesian y and x coordinates of 2020 CD₃ orbital clones integrated backward 100 yr from 2020 March 23 UTC (red line), with the Earth’s three Hill radii marked in green. Top right panel: same as the top left panel except for the mean geocentric Cartesian x and z coordinates of 2020 CD₃ orbital clones integrated backward 100 yr from 2020 March 23 UTC. Bottom left panel: evolution in 2020 CD₃’s orbital clones’ mean semimajor axis integrated backward 100 yr from 2020 March 23 UTC, with the Earth’s orbit in black. Bottom right panel: geocentric distance of 2020 CD₃ orbital clones integrated backward 100 yr from 2020 March 23 UTC.
