75664

The designation **75664** is primarily associated with astronomical objects and numerical identifiers rather than general cultural or historical references. One of the most notable references to this number is in the context of **asteroids**, where it is assigned to a minor planet discovered in the outer solar system.

75664 was officially designated as **2000 AP178**, an object classified as a **trans-Neptunian object (TNO)** and later identified as a member of the **scattered disc**. This region lies beyond the orbit of Neptune and contains icy bodies influenced by gravitational interactions with the outer planets. The object was first observed on January 5, 2000, by astronomers using the Mauna Kea Observatory in Hawaii. Its orbit suggests it is part of a population of distant, dynamically unstable objects that occasionally approach the inner solar system.

The designation **75664** was later assigned as part of the Minor Planet Center’s numerical cataloging system, which systematically names and tracks small bodies in the solar system. Due to its distance and faintness, 75664 remains relatively unstudied compared to more prominent TNOs like Pluto or Eris. Its orbital characteristics, including a highly elliptical path and significant inclination, contribute to its classification as a scattered disc object rather than a classical Kuiper Belt member.

While 75664 is not widely recognized in popular culture, its study helps astronomers understand the dynamics and composition of the outer solar system. Further observations may provide insights into the formation and evolution of distant icy bodies.
