Their location in the sky as observed from Earth's surface would be fixed at about 60 degrees east and west of the Sun, and as people tend to search for asteroids at much greater elongations few searches have been done in these locations.

 "Asteroids" "The Green House Effect" "Big Brother is Watching You!"
Amor asteroids have perihelion distances greater than the Earth's present aphelion distance (Q) of 1.017 AU and therefore do not at present cross the planet's orbit.
Because of strong gravitational perturbations produced by their close approaches to the Earth, however, the orbital elements of all the Earth approaching asteroids, except the shallow Mars crossers, change appreciably on a time scale of a few years or tens of years.
Most of these were discovered since 1970, when dedicated searches for this type of asteroid were begun: 25 were discovered during the 1970s, 80 during the 1980s, and 49 during the first 20 months of the 1990s.
