   mind you this is still a fairly uncertain figure, given that there are a   
   couple of  light days distance between its orbital apogee and perogee, it   
   isnt really a definiable quantity if we dont know the relative orbital   
   positions of neptune and earth or at least the date (which would mean we   
   could make a fairly accurate guestimate of those positions)
