23184

23184 is a minor planet discovered by astronomers at the Palomar Observatory on October 10, 1999, as part of the Near Earth Asteroid Tracking (NEAT) program. It belongs to the asteroid belt, a region between Mars and Jupiter populated by rocky bodies. Its estimated diameter is approximately 4 to 9 kilometers, and its orbital period around the Sun is about 3.8 years.

The asteroid's trajectory is relatively stable, and it does not pose a threat to Earth. Like many other asteroids in its class, 23184 is thought to be composed primarily of rock and metal. Further detailed studies of its composition and physical characteristics are ongoing, utilizing data from various telescopic observations.

The naming of asteroids follows a convention established by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Once an asteroid is discovered and its orbit is confirmed, it is given a provisional designation. After a sufficient number of observations are made to accurately determine its orbit, it receives a permanent number. The name 23184 refers to this numerical designation.
