33414

33414 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on September 12, 1999, by the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) at Anderson Mesa Station, located in Flagstaff, Arizona. The asteroid is approximately 3.5 kilometers in diameter and has a rotation period of about 5.6 hours. It belongs to the Eos family of asteroids, which are thought to have originated from a common parent body that was disrupted by an impact event. The Eos family is one of the largest groups of asteroids in the asteroid belt, with over 4,000 members. The spectral classification of 33414 is E-type, indicating that it has a composition similar to enstatite achondrite meteorites, which are believed to have formed in the inner solar system. The asteroid's orbit is relatively stable, with a semi-major axis of 3.1 astronomical units (AU) and an eccentricity of 0.12. Its orbital period is approximately 5.5 years. The asteroid's name has not been officially assigned by the International Astronomical Union (IAU), and it remains designated as 33414.
