137348

137348 is an asteroid, specifically a main-belt asteroid. It was discovered on March 3, 1999, by the LINEAR survey program. LINEAR, which stands for Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research, was a program designed to detect near-Earth asteroids, though it also discovered many main-belt asteroids. The designation 137348 indicates the order of its discovery; it was the 137,348th asteroid to be discovered and assigned a provisional designation.

As a main-belt asteroid, 137348 orbits the Sun in the region between Mars and Jupiter, a vast expanse populated by millions of rocky bodies. Its precise physical characteristics, such as its size, composition, and orbital parameters beyond its basic path, are typically determined through subsequent observations and analysis. Detailed information regarding its exact orbital elements, such as its semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination, can be found in astronomical databases that catalog these celestial objects. Asteroids like 137348 are remnants from the early formation of the solar system and provide valuable insights into its history and evolution.
