100239

100239 is the numerical designation assigned to a minor planet in the Solar System. It is listed in the Minor Planet Center's catalog of numbered minor planets, a database maintained by the International Astronomical Union. The assignment of a number indicates that the object's orbit has been observed sufficiently to determine a reliable trajectory. After numbering, the object may be given a name by its discoverers, though many minor planets remain unnamed.

Discovery details such as the date of discovery, discovering observatory or individual, and the provisional designation

Physical characteristics for numbered minor planets vary in precision. Some objects have measured diameters, albedos, rotations,

As with other numbered minor planets, 100239's precise classification, orbit, and any named designation can be
