So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.&nbsp;</p><h4>81P/Wild</h4><p>Wild 2 is a quite active, nearly ellipsoidal, short period comet. These comets are originally from the Kuiper Belt, and were disrupted by <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/57351-jupiter-scaled-one-in-one-billion">Jupiter</a>'s gravity into a 6 year period orbit in September of 1974. It has big craters in its surface, most likely made by the material expelled from the comet rather than impact events.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Comet.</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Sun.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbital period:</strong> 6.408 yr.</li><li><strong>Composition:</strong> Icy body.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Density:</strong> 0.6 g/cm3.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 5.5 km × 4.0 km × 3.3 km&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Model scale:</strong> 1:4x104 (14 cm) 1:8x104 (7cm)</li></ul><h4>References</h4><ul><li><a href="https://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/holdings/dif-c-hriv_mri-5-hartley2-shape-v1.0/">"Farnham, T.L., T.
