If the asteroid has an eccentricity greater than 1, it means that it is on a hyperbolic trajectory. In this case, the statement that is most likely true is:
**The asteroid continues out of the solar system, never to return.**
Asteroids with an eccentricity greater than 1 are not bound to the Sun and typically will not re-enter the solar system after their encounter with a massive body like Jupiter.
