9129

**9129**

9129 is a minor planet, officially designated as (9129) 1997 WT26, discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) project on November 18, 1997. It belongs to the main asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. With an estimated diameter of approximately 3.5 kilometers, it is classified as a S-type asteroid, characterized by its silicate-rich composition.

9129 has been observed on several occasions due to its relatively bright magnitude, which allows it to be detected with moderate-sized telescopes. Its orbit is moderately inclined, crossing the ecliptic plane at an angle of about 12 degrees. The asteroid’s orbital period is approximately 5.3 years, and it completes one full revolution around the Sun every 1,980 Earth days.

As of current astronomical records, no close approaches to Earth have been recorded for 9129. Its trajectory remains well within the boundaries of the main asteroid belt, posing no known threat to planetary systems. The asteroid’s discovery and subsequent observations have contributed to ongoing efforts in tracking and cataloging near-Earth objects, helping scientists monitor potential risks and deepen our understanding of the solar system’s dynamics.

While 9129 does not receive significant attention compared to larger or more well-studied asteroids, its study remains part of broader research into the composition, formation, and evolutionary history of minor planets in our solar system.
