Description Centaur 55576 Amycus (2002 GB10) lies within 0.009 AU of the 3:4 resonance of Uranus. (Horner 2004) This animation shows motion of Amycus in a rotating frame with a period equal to Uranus's orbital period. The motion fails to retain a long-term libration. Neptune is white, Uranus is the stationary blue line (rotating frame) at 4 o'clock, Saturn is yellow, and Jupiter is red. The animated GIF consists of 100 frames covering 25,000 years. Each frame covers 3*84.07 years.
