In astronomy, 208277 is the designation of a minor planet assigned by the Minor Planet Center. The number indicates the object is the 208,277th minor planet to have its orbit sufficiently well determined to be numbered. Many such objects have not been given formal names, so 208277 may be used primarily as a catalog reference. The designation remains a stable identifier in scientific databases, observation records, and published literature, enabling precise tracking and cross-referencing across studies and catalogs.

Outside of mathematics and astronomy, the sequence number 208277 can appear in various data systems as an identifier or code, depending on the domain. As with other numbered designations, its primary purpose is to provide a unique, persistent reference within a given catalog or dataset. While the specific properties of any particular object labeled 208277 depend on context, the number itself serves as a concise, unambiguous label across disciplines.
