2001 U is a designation for an unnumbered minor planet in the asteroid belt. Minor planets are small celestial bodies that orbit the Sun, which include asteroids and comets. While 2001 U does not have a specific name, it can be referenced by its provisional designation, which usually includes the year of discovery followed by a letter. The minor planets are assigned a permanent number when they are sufficiently observed and confirmed.
