23146

23146 is a small asteroid located in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on February 2, 1998, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project. The asteroid is classified as an S-type, which means it has a stony composition. 23146 has an estimated diameter of about 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) and orbits the Sun with a semi-major axis of approximately 2.7 astronomical units (AU). Its orbital period is about 4.4 Earth years. The asteroid's rotation period is not well-determined, but it is believed to be relatively slow, on the order of several hours. 23146 does not pose any significant threat to Earth, as its orbit does not bring it close to our planet. The asteroid is named "1998 CR1" in the Minor Planet Center's database, and it is not associated with any particular mythological or cultural figure.
