On 19 November 2003, the Jovigraphic latitude is 75.5 deg at a distance of 2128 Rj and a local time (LT) near noon. The closest approach of 1683 Rj occurs on 4 February 2004 at 49.5 deg latitude near 17 hours LT. The formal encounter ends on 1 April 2004 at 1926 Rj, a latitude of 21.5 deg and a LT near 17:30.
