Due to the fact that it was on the ecliptic outside our orbit and moving directly away from us. True opposition on Jan 23.887736UT. But with very low velocity with respect to the coordinate reference frame or parent body - single digit Km/sec. This morning at 2:08CST, it became essentially motionless moving just 2.5"/min. Crazy stuff fun indeed!
Had this little rock come from the other direction, I doubt it would have been discovered.
