I generally can’t make any sense out of this stuff without visualizing it; from our friends at the JPL:

If an object or craft were to enter our solar system with intention of being in proximity to Earth, would it not be more practicable to enter into this kind of “joint” orbit with Earth around the sun, rather than try to actually go into orbit around Earth.

I would think it would save a lot of fuel.

Or maybe at the right time 2016 HO3 will make a not-so-soft landing here. Something like that is definitely coming soon, maybe within this century.

As long as Ground Zero is inside the Beltway, I'm cool with it.

RE: “light reading.”

I read the first three lines and realized that I had written this article for Wiki during my REM stage of sleep a few years ago! Mmmmaybe not?
