The JPL Small-Body Database (SBDB) is an astronomy database about small Solar System bodies.It is maintained by Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and NASA and provides data for all known asteroids and several comets, including orbital parameters and diagrams, physical diagrams, close approach details, radar astrometry, discovery circumstances, alternate designations and lists of publications ...
The JPL Small-Body Database gives a running total of 676,786 unnumbered minor planets. [ 2 ] [ a ] The tables below contain 95 objects with a principal designation assigned between 1927 and 1993.
The asteroid's provisional designation as a minor planet, "2024 YR 4", was assigned by the Minor Planet Center when its discovery was announced on 27 December 2024. [2] 2024 indicates the discovery year, the first letter, "Y", indicates that the asteroid was discovered in the second half-month of December (16 to 31 December) of that year, and "R 4" indicates that it was the 117th provisional ...

The article name contains diacritics (e.g. 2867 Šteins) - JPL Small Body Database does not support diacritics. In this case, use {{JPL small body|id=2002867}} The article name contains apostrophes (e.g. 21774 O'Brien) - a bug in the MediaWiki urlencode function results in a malformed external link. In this case, use {{JPL small body|id=2021774}}.
The JPL Small-Body Database lists 910 centaurs. [14] There are an additional 223 trans-Neptunian objects (objects with a semi-major axis further than Neptune's, i.e. 30.1 AU ≤ a ) with a perihelion closer than the orbit of Uranus ( q ≤ 19.2 AU ).
