295305

295305 is the designation for an asteroid, specifically a main-belt asteroid. It was discovered on July 25, 2008, by astronomers using the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. WISE was a space telescope launched by NASA in December 2009 to survey the entire sky in infrared wavelengths.

As a main-belt asteroid, 295305 orbits the Sun in the region between Mars and Jupiter. This region is known as the asteroid belt and contains millions of rocky bodies of various sizes. The exact composition and physical characteristics of 295305 are not widely publicized, as is common for many smaller asteroids. Its orbital path and size are determined through observations of its movement and brightness.

The naming convention for asteroids follows a system established by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). Newly discovered asteroids are initially given a provisional designation, which is then replaced by a permanent number once its orbit is sufficiently well-determined. The number 295305 indicates it is the 295,305th asteroid to be officially numbered. Further observations may eventually lead to the assignment of a proper name to this celestial body, though many numbered asteroids remain unnamed.
