An underscore at the beginning of a provisional designation means that it has no MPC-catalog number yet.

This 3D-Orbit Viewer uses the ASTORB orbit elements database by David Bowell/Lowell University.
The elements are correct for the given epoch but not for years before or after that epoch.
The osculating elements for the currently 408 comets are by JPL Dastcom services
OrbitViewer-Applet courtesy from Osamu Ajiki/AstroArts Inc. In case of minor planets you can search either by number or name/designation.
The query tries to find an exact match first,
if it fails it gives you the first object which contains your search phrase (except for numbers).
The search is case-insensitive.
In case you search for a comet then you can enter its full name like '1P/Halley' or just its number '1P/' but don't forget the slash.
Comets: Please enter a comet designation like e.g. '1P/Halley'. 'Halley' will find an asteroid not the comet.
If you want to find a new comet like for example C/NEAT (2002 V1) then please leave the brackets just enter: C/NEAT 2002 V1.
