Encyclopedia > Arjuna asteroid

The Arjuna asteroids are a class of near-Earth asteroids whose orbits are very Earth-like in character, having low inclination, orbital periods close to one Earth year, and low eccentricity. Arjunas are very uncommon, but of significance owing to the extremely low delta V required to reach them from Earth.


The Arjuna definition is somewhat fuzzy and covers the definition of the three well-established families Apollo, Amor and Aten.


Note that there is no asteroid named "Arjuna" (whereas there are namesake asteroids 1862 Apollo, 1221 Amor and 2062 Aten).

Arjuna was in a dilemma: his weaponry was in the room where Draupadi and Yudhishthira were alone together for the night, and disturbing them would incur the penalty agreed upon.
Arjuna hesitated for but a moment; in his mind, coming to the aid of his subject in distress, especially a brahmin, was the raison d'etre of a prince.
Arjuna is urged by Lord Krishna to kill Karna when he is attempting to raise his chariot, reminding him of Karna's own lack of mercy and regard for the rules of war when killing Arjuna's son Abhimanyu in a terrible and brutal fashion.
