23027

23027 is a small asteroid located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on February 28, 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. The asteroid is classified as a stony S-type asteroid, which means it has a composition similar to that of ordinary chondrites, a type of meteorite. 23027 has an estimated diameter of about 2.5 kilometers (1.6 miles) and orbits the Sun with a period of approximately 3.5 years. Its orbit is relatively stable, with a semi-major axis of about 2.5 astronomical units (AU), and an eccentricity of 0.15. The asteroid's rotation period is estimated to be around 5.5 hours. Due to its small size and distance, 23027 poses no threat to Earth and is not considered a near-Earth object. It is primarily of interest to astronomers for its composition and orbital characteristics.
