     The Minor Planet Electronic Circulars contain information on unusual
         minor planets and routine data on comets.  They are published
   on behalf of Commission 20 of the International Astronomical Union by the
          Minor Planet Center, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory,

     The orbit of 2007 VF189, and the timing of the close approach to the
Earth, are rather similar to those of the Rosetta spacecraft.
