Looks like it's in 2:1 resonance with Mars.

Soon enough it will be hit by the 1991 Linux which will stay on the surface, it'll be called GNU/Linux. The name is not nice and some will speculate on which portion is the main portion, this'll end with a crusades that'll last so long, scientist will forgot their fight on the superiority of VIMScope vs Tele E-MAX. Sadly after a while more asteroids hit the GNU, and so its share of mass drops to 8%, this is when a group of people who walks in circles and hold each others hands humming African songs of unity and peace will come and threw away the remains of GNU and replace them with newly rusted sections.
