Due to their earth like orbit, these low delta-v asteroids move slowly when seen from earth. The resulting movement is very nice.
I tried to visualize asteroids which are likely to be lunar ejecta. I also add Bennu that moves much faster but it is interesting to see how it gets "near" to the earth during the Osiris-REx mission
All the other asteroids are sorted by Delta-V.
The last two asteroids have a very low eccentricity.
The following graphs show their movement in the next 10 years:
- Sun is at (0,0)
- Earth is at about (1,0)
