12951

12951 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 11 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 24 September 1960, by the Indiana Asteroid Program at Goethe Link Observatory in Indiana, United States. The asteroid is named after the year of its discovery, 1960, which is 12951 in the decimal system.

The orbital period of 12951 is approximately 5.35 years, and its orbit has an eccentricity of 0.12 and an inclination of 11.6 degrees with respect to the ecliptic. The asteroid's spectral type is unknown, but it is likely a C-type asteroid, which are carbonaceous and typically found in the outer asteroid belt.

12951 has not been observed since its discovery, and its orbit is not well-determined. It is possible that it has been lost or that it has been reclassified as a different object. Despite this, it remains an interesting object of study for astronomers, as it provides insight into the composition and dynamics of the outer asteroid belt.
