The long-term stability of 100 clones of 2025 MD138 sampled from its JPL covariance matrix. The initial a and e of the clones are plotted as circles with the color denoting the state at the end of the 1 Gyr n-body integrations. The black star denotes the current best-fit orbit, which is stable at 1 Gyr.
