In celestial mechanics, the eccentricity of an orbit can range from 0 to just below 1. An eccentricity of 0 indicates a perfectly circular orbit, while an eccentricity close to 1 indicates a highly elliptical orbit.

Since you mentioned that the new comet follows a highly elliptical orbit, the appropriate value for its eccentricity would likely be much closer to 1. Among the options given, **0.9200** would be the most reasonable choice for a highly elliptical orbit.

So, the correct response would be:

**0.9200**
