30454

30454 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on September 26, 1999, by astronomers of the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program at the Lincoln Laboratory in Socorro, New Mexico. The asteroid is named after the year of its discovery, 1999, and the number 30454 is its official designation in the Minor Planet Center's catalog.

The asteroid's orbit is well-determined and stable, with an orbital period of about 5.5 years. It has an orbital eccentricity of 0.15 and an inclination of 10.5 degrees with respect to the ecliptic. 30454 is a dark asteroid, with a low albedo of approximately 0.05, indicating that it is rich in carbonaceous material.

30454 has not been observed to have any moons or significant satellites. It is not classified as a potentially hazardous object, as its orbit does not bring it close to Earth. The asteroid is too far from the Sun to be considered a Near-Earth Object (NEO), but it is still an interesting subject for study due to its unique composition and orbital characteristics.

In summary, 30454 is a small, dark asteroid in the outer asteroid belt with a stable orbit. Its discovery and study contribute to the understanding of the overall population and distribution of asteroids in the solar system.
