352391

352391 is the permanent numerical designation assigned to a specific minor planet in the solar system. It is part of the cataloging system maintained by the Minor Planet Center to identify small bodies. The object has not been given a widely used name, so it is typically referred to by its number.

Discovery and designation: When a new object is discovered, it receives a provisional designation. After enough observations confirm a stable orbit, it is assigned a permanent number, such as 352391. It may later be named through a process approved by the International Astronomical Union. Many numbered minor planets remain unnamed.

Orbit and location: Objects with numbers in this range are typically found in the main asteroid belt between about 2.0 and 3.5 astronomical units from the Sun. The orbital elements—semi-major axis, eccentricity, and inclination—are determined from repeated observations, and the specific values for 352391 are published in public databases such as the JPL Small-Body Database and the Minor Planet Center.

Significance: The numbering system allows precise reference across studies and surveys and reflects the scale of ongoing efforts to catalog small bodies in the solar system.
