33884

33884 is a minor planet in the outer region of the asteroid belt, orbiting the Sun between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on October 14, 1991, by astronomers Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy at the Palomar Observatory in California, United States. The asteroid is part of the Hungaria family, a group of asteroids that share similar orbital characteristics, including a semi-major axis of approximately 1.9 astronomical units (AU) and an orbital period of around 1.8 Earth years.

33884 has a diameter estimated to be about 4.5 kilometers, making it relatively small compared to other asteroids. Its surface composition is believed to be similar to other S-type asteroids, which are primarily composed of silicate minerals. The asteroid's rotation period is approximately 5.4 hours, and its albedo, or reflectivity, is around 0.25.

The designation 33884 is assigned by the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center, which catalogs and tracks minor planets and comets. The asteroid does not have an official name, but it is sometimes referred to by its provisional designation, 1991 UG. Its orbit is relatively stable, with a low eccentricity and inclination, indicating that it has not been significantly perturbed by gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies.

33884 is not a target for any specific missions or studies, but its discovery and characterization contribute to our understanding of the asteroid belt and the formation of the solar system. Ongoing observations and research continue to refine our knowledge of this and other minor planets.
