126429

126429 is a number that refers to a large object designation for a main-belt asteroid. This asteroid was first observed on October 30, 2001, by the LINEAR survey, a NASA-funded project that uses the LONEOS telescope at Anderson Mesa Station in Arizona to scan the night sky for asteroids and other celestial objects.

As an asteroid, 126429 has a relatively small size, with a diameter of approximately 2 kilometers. Its orbit is classified as a main-belt asteroid, meaning it is located in the region of the solar system between Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid completes one orbit around the Sun roughly every 5.4 years, at an average distance of about 405 million kilometers.

Additional details about 126429 are limited, likely due to its relatively small size and lack of notable characteristics. No data is available about its composition, rotation period, or other physical properties. It is possible that 126429 has not been targeted for further study, as it does not appear to pose any significant threat to Earth.

This asteroid is one of many objects whose designations are assigned by the Minor Planet Center, an organization responsible for cataloging and tracking small bodies in the solar system. As new discoveries are made, the number of designated objects increases, providing insights into the diversity of objects in our solar system and contributing to ongoing research in the field of astrophysics.

Without significant scientific interest or unusual characteristics, 126429 follows the standard orbits and appendices recorded in the Minor Planet Center databases, serving the role of acknowledged specification, forming a specific number used in organized classification and tracking within the eclipse and survey archives.
