28386

28386 is a minor planet in the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 24, 1981, by astronomers Schelte J. Bus and Eleanor F. Helin at the Palomar Observatory in California, USA. The asteroid is classified as a main-belt asteroid, which means it orbits the Sun within the asteroid belt.

28386 has an estimated diameter of about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) and completes one orbit around the Sun approximately every 4.3 years. Its orbit is relatively stable and has a low eccentricity, indicating a circular path around the Sun. The asteroid's spectral type is unknown, but it is likely a C-type asteroid, which are carbonaceous and often found in the outer regions of the asteroid belt.

The asteroid's name, 28386, is its provisional designation in the Minor Planet Center's system. It has not been named officially, and as of now, it remains an unnamed minor planet. The naming process for minor planets typically involves suggestions from the discoverers or other interested parties, followed by approval by the International Astronomical Union.

28386 is not a notable asteroid in terms of scientific research or exploration. It does not pose any significant threat to Earth, and its small size makes it unlikely to be visited by spacecraft in the near future. However, the study of minor planets like 28386 contributes to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system.
