33840001

33840001 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 10, 2005, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project, a collaborative effort between the United States Air Force, NASA, and MIT. The asteroid is approximately 2 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of about 4.3 Earth years. Its orbit is moderately eccentric and inclined, with an average distance from the Sun of 2.6 astronomical units (AU). 33840001 is classified as a main-belt asteroid, a group of asteroids that orbit the Sun primarily between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The asteroid's spectral type is unknown, but it is likely to be a C-type asteroid, which are common in the outer asteroid belt and are characterized by their dark, carbonaceous surfaces. 33840001 has not been visited by any spacecraft, and its physical properties and composition remain largely unknown. However, ongoing observations and studies of the asteroid will continue to provide valuable insights into the formation and evolution of the solar system.
