34893

The designation **34893** is primarily associated with the near-Earth asteroid **2001 QH94**, which was discovered on August 16, 2001, by astronomers at the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program. This asteroid has been cataloged under the minor planet number **34893** by the Minor Planet Center, a division of the International Astronomical Union (IAU).

2001 QH94 (34893) is classified as an Apollo-type asteroid, meaning its orbit crosses that of Earth and can approach the Sun closer than Earth’s orbit. Its estimated diameter ranges between 0.3 and 0.7 kilometers, and its orbit has an eccentricity that occasionally brings it relatively close to Earth. While it is not classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid (PHA) due to its size and orbital characteristics, it remains under observation as part of ongoing space surveillance efforts.

The asteroid’s orbit has been studied to assess potential future close approaches. As of recent calculations, 34893 does not pose an immediate threat to Earth, though its trajectory is periodically monitored for long-term risks. Its designation reflects its place in the broader catalog of near-Earth objects (NEOs) tracked by astronomical organizations worldwide.

Beyond its astronomical significance, 34893 has not gained widespread public recognition outside scientific circles. Its study contributes to broader research on asteroid dynamics, collision risks, and the composition of small bodies in the solar system.
