164148

164148 is a minor planet orbiting the Sun in the asteroid belt, a region of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 24, 1998, by astronomers at the Lincoln Laboratory ETS in Socorro, New Mexico, as part of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. The asteroid is designated as 164148 (1998 SP35) in the Minor Planet Center's database.

164148 has an estimated diameter of approximately 1.5 kilometers, based on its absolute magnitude and assumed albedo. Its orbit is relatively stable, with a semi-major axis of about 2.4 astronomical units (AU), an eccentricity of 0.15, and an inclination of about 3 degrees relative to the ecliptic plane. The asteroid completes one orbit around the Sun approximately every 3.7 Earth years.

The orbital characteristics of 164148 place it in the inner region of the asteroid belt, where most asteroids are found. It does not cross the orbits of any major planets and is not classified as a near-Earth object. The asteroid's spectral type is not yet determined, but it is likely to be a common S-type asteroid, which are composed of silicate materials and account for about 17% of known asteroids.

164148 is not a notable asteroid due to its size or orbital characteristics. It is one of the millions of asteroids in the asteroid belt, and its primary significance lies in its contribution to our understanding of the early solar system and the formation of planets. Ongoing research and observations will continue to provide more information about this minor planet and its place in the solar system.
