15924P

15924P is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 12, 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project at the Lincoln Laboratory's Experimental Test Site near Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is approximately 2.5 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of about 4.2 years. Its orbit is moderately eccentric and inclined, with an average distance from the Sun of around 2.6 astronomical units (AU). The asteroid's spectral type is classified as X, indicating a primitive composition, likely rich in carbonaceous materials. 15924P has not been observed to have any known moons or significant physical features. Its orbit does not bring it close to Earth, making it a background object in the asteroid belt. The asteroid's designation, 15924P, is part of the Minor Planet Center's system for naming and cataloging asteroids.
