Tracking Station and Non-Kerbin asteroid encounters

Will the Tracking Center display non-Kerbin encounters for tracked asteroids?  I've got over 1000 tracked now, many in Duna's neighborhood and yet I never see any of them displayed as encountering Duna.  I have a contract for orbiting a Class C around Duna and just want to know if I'm looking for information I'll never see in the tracking station.  Thanks!

It should..... It typically shows me that info.

Excellent, thanks, i just need to be more patient.  On another thread someone just told me that only encounters in the current orbit show and since all my Duna sentinels were recently launched and are behind Duna so far (the inner one should pass it soon) that they haven't seen any asteroids that could encounter Duna in the current orbit yet

Oh, ok thats why. It should display once you get those probes in a Duna orbit.

They are in Duna orbit, and show as such, but the asteroids they are finding are all behind Duna so statistically are not going to be encountering Duna within the current orbit (unless really elliptical and catching it on the other side from the sat, I suppose).  Thanks for responding, btw, much appreciated
