22685

22685 is a minor planet located in the asteroid belt. It was discovered by the Spacewatch program on October 1, 1998, at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. As of its discovery, it was the 22,685th asteroid identified. Its orbital period is approximately 3.5 years, and it follows an elliptical path around the Sun. The diameter of 22685 is estimated to be around 3 to 5 kilometers, though precise measurements are ongoing. Its surface composition is thought to be primarily silicate rock. Further observations are being conducted to refine its orbital parameters, physical characteristics, and potential classification within the asteroid belt. Information regarding its albedo, rotation period, and detailed spectral analysis is still being gathered and analyzed by astronomers.
