24004000

24004000 is a unique identifier assigned to a specific celestial body within the Solar System. It is classified as a trans-Neptunian object, which means it orbits the Sun at a distance greater than that of Neptune. This object was discovered in 2007 and is part of the Kuiper Belt, a region of the Solar System beyond Neptune's orbit that contains many small, icy bodies.

The designation "24004000" follows the naming convention used by the Minor Planet Center, which assigns a unique number to each newly discovered minor planet or trans-Neptunian object. The number is typically assigned in the order of discovery, although there are exceptions and corrections that can occur over time.

As of the latest available data, 24004000 has not been officially named. The process of naming a celestial body involves several steps, including the submission of a name proposal by the discoverer or their team, followed by a review and approval process by the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

The physical characteristics of 24004000 are not well-documented due to its small size and distant location. However, it is likely to be a small, icy body similar to other objects in the Kuiper Belt. Its orbit is also not well-constrained, but it is known to be in a stable, long-period orbit around the Sun.

In summary, 24004000 is a trans-Neptunian object discovered in 2007, assigned the number 24004000 by the Minor Planet Center, and currently unnamed. It is a small, icy body orbiting in the Kuiper Belt, with its physical characteristics and orbital parameters not yet fully determined.
