29079

29079 is a minor planet located in the asteroid belt. It was discovered by the amateur astronomer Tsutomu Seki on December 18, 1999, at the Geisei Observatory in Japan. As of its discovery, Seki had already found several other asteroids, including 1991 UG and 1997 AE9. The designation 29079 signifies its order of discovery.

Like other asteroids in the main belt, 29079 orbits the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. Its precise physical characteristics, such as its size, composition, and albedo, are not widely documented in public astronomical databases. Further observations are needed to determine these properties with greater accuracy.

The study of minor planets like 29079 contributes to our understanding of the formation and evolution of the solar system. They are remnants from the early stages of planetary formation and can provide clues about the conditions present billions of years ago. While 29079 is not considered a significant threat to Earth, its study is part of the broader effort to catalog and understand all objects in our solar system.
