I did the MPCORB yesterday as I mentioned. Why should I need to download it every day? And did an ASTORB (Lowell) a week ago. I have no idea why there are only 28,972

How the heck does a rock with an H of 6.94 and a diameter of 70Km disappear from an active minor planet database?

It's difficult to say without more information about the specific minor planet and the context in which it disappeared from the database. However, it's possible that the data was simply lost or not properly recorded, or that the minor planet was later found to be a duplicate of another object and merged with that object's data. It's also possible that the minor planet was destroyed or significantly altered in some way, making it unrecognizable as the same object.

This sounds very much like an answer generated via ChatGPT. People may not realize it, because its handled behind the scenes by me, but these forums are constantly under attack by spammers, who are paid to drop links to various products.

New subscribers need to make a first post that is genuine before they are unmoderated, and I believe this is an attempt to circumvent that restriction to gain full access. This is a waste of time, by the way, because even if they posted a hundred messages while I was asleep, I can delete all of them with one click. This account remains moderated.
