2144000

2144000 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 10, 2005, by astronomers at the Palomar Observatory in California. The asteroid is classified as a main-belt asteroid, which means it orbits the Sun at a distance that is typical for asteroids in the main belt.

2144000 has a diameter of approximately 3 kilometers and an orbital period of about 4.3 Earth years. Its orbit is moderately eccentric, with a semi-major axis of 2.6 astronomical units (AU). The asteroid's rotation period is not yet precisely determined, but it is estimated to be around 10 hours.

The spectral classification of 2144000 is C-type, indicating that it has a carbonaceous composition. This type of asteroid is believed to be rich in organic compounds and water, making it of interest to scientists studying the early solar system and the origins of life on Earth.

As of now, 2144000 has not been named, and it is designated by its provisional designation (2144000). The naming process for minor planets typically involves suggestions from the discoverers or the public, followed by approval from the International Astronomical Union.
