List of asteroids 521075 219472567 2008-06-15T11:49:07Z DumZiBoT 6085301 robot Modifying: [[nn:Nummererte småplanetar]] This is a '''list of numbered asteroids (minor planets)''', in sequential order. [[As of May 2008]] there are 187,745 numbered [[minor planet]]s, and many more not yet numbered. Three minor planets have also been classified as [[dwarf planet]]s. But most asteroids are ordinary and not particularly noteworthy—less than 15,000 of them have been named (the first nameless asteroid having number 3708). For a smaller list of notable asteroids, see [[List of notable asteroids]]. ==List of asteroids== The list is much too long to fit on one page, so see these subpages: {| border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=2 align="center" style="text-align:right;" | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/1–1000|1–1000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/10001–11000|10001–11000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/20001–21000|20001–21000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/30001–31000|30001–31000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/40001–41000|40001–41000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/1001–2000|1001–2000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/11001–12000|11001–12000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/21001–22000|21001–22000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/31001–32000|31001–32000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/41001–42000|41001–42000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/2001–3000|2001–3000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/12001–13000|12001–13000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/22001–23000|22001–23000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/32001–33000|32001–33000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/42001–43000|42001–43000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/3001–4000|3001–4000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/13001–14000|13001–14000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/23001–24000|23001–24000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/33001–34000|33001–34000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/43001–44000|43001–44000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/4001–5000|4001–5000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/14001–15000|14001–15000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/24001–25000|24001–25000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/34001–35000|34001–35000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/44001–45000|44001–45000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/5001–6000|5001–6000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/15001–16000|15001–16000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/25001–26000|25001–26000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/35001–36000|35001–36000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/45001–46000|45001–46000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/6001–7000|6001–7000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/16001–17000|16001–17000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/26001–27000|26001–27000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/36001–37000|36001–37000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/46001–47000|46001–47000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/7001–8000|7001–8000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/17001–18000|17001–18000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/27001–28000|27001–28000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/37001–38000|37001–38000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/47001–48000|47001–48000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/8001–9000|8001–9000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/18001–19000|18001–19000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/28001–29000|28001–29000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/38001–39000|38001–39000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/48001–49000|48001–49000]] |- | &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/9001–10000|9001–10000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/19001–20000|19001–20000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/29001–30000|29001–30000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/39001–40000|39001–40000]] || &nbsp;&nbsp;[[List of asteroids/49001–50000|49001–50000]] |- | colspan="5" | &nbsp;

In modern times, an asteroid receives a sequential number only after its orbit is precisely known. Asteroids whose orbits are not (yet) precisely known are known by their provisional designation. This rule was not necessarily followed in earlier times, and some asteroids received a number but were subsequently "lost". All of these have now been recovered; the last "lost" numbered asteroid was [[719 Albert]]. For the reasons mentioned above, the sequence of numbers only approximately matches the timeline of discovery. In extreme cases, such as "lost" asteroids, there may be a considerable mismatch: for instance the high-numbered [[69230 Hermes]] was originally discovered in 1937, but was lost until 2003. Only after it was recovered could its orbit be established and a number assigned. Before this, it was simply known as 1937 UB (its provisional designation). Only after a number is assigned is the asteroid eligible to receive a name. (For many years, Hermes was a rare exception, an unnumbered asteroid with a name.) Usually the discoverer has up to 10 years to pick a name; some asteroids remain unnamed. Especially towards the end of the 20th century, with large-scale automated asteroid discovery programs such as [[Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research|LINEAR]], the pace of discoveries has increased so much that it seems likely that the vast majority of "run of the mill" discoveries from now on will never receive names. In rare cases, a very unusual object may receive an unofficial name before it is numbered. A recent example is [[90377 Sedna]], which officially had only the systematic name "{{mp|2003 VB|12}}" before it was numbered (90377) and, shortly thereafter, named in September, 2004. ==Books== * ''Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, 5th ed.: <small>Prepared on Behalf of Commission 20 Under the Auspices of the International Astronomical Union</small>'', [[Lutz D.
