47143

47143 is an asteroid located in the main asteroid belt. It was discovered by the LINEAR program at the Lincoln Laboratory site near Socorro, New Mexico, on March 30, 1999. As of its discovery, it was classified as an asteroid and assigned the provisional designation 1999 FR25. Subsequent observations and orbital calculations confirmed its status and it was given its permanent number, 47143.

The asteroid orbits the Sun at an average distance of approximately 2.7 astronomical units. Its orbital period is about 4.5 Earth years. While specific details about its physical characteristics, such as size, composition, and albedo, are not widely published, it is believed to be a rocky body, typical of asteroids found in this region of the solar system. Asteroids in the main belt are remnants from the early formation of the solar system, and their study provides insights into its history. Further observations by various astronomical observatories are ongoing to refine our understanding of 47143 and its place within the solar system.
