The asteroid's provisional designation was 1996 SG10. Following a period of observation and confirmation of its orbital characteristics, it was given its permanent number, 20903. Detailed studies of its composition and physical properties are ongoing, as is typical for many asteroids of this size. The numbering system for asteroids is maintained by the Minor Planet Center, which catalogs and tracks these celestial bodies. The exact size and precise orbital parameters of 20903 are available in astronomical databases.
