2020 FY30
The term "2020 FY30" typically refers to a financial year (FY) or fiscal year that spans the year 2020 and ends in 2030. It encompasses the period from the beginning of a financial year that starts in 2020 (e.g., October 1, 2019, to September 30, 2020, for some organizations) until the end of the fiscal year that concludes in 2030.
2021 DR15
2021 DR15 is an asteroid that was discovered on February 21, 2021. It is classified as a near-Earth object (NEO) and belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids, which are characterized by their Earth-crossing orbits. This particular asteroid gained some attention because of its relatively close approaches to Earth, as is typical for many objects in this category.
2021 LL37
2021 LL37 is an asteroid that belongs to the Apollo group of asteroids, which are near-Earth objects. Discovered on June 4, 2021, its orbit brings it close to Earth's path. As an asteroid, it is of interest to astronomers and scientists for study regarding its composition, size, and trajectory, especially in relation to potential future close approaches to Earth.
2060 Chiron
2060 Chiron is a centaur object located in the outer regions of the Solar System. It is classified as both a centaur and a potential asteroid, as it shares characteristics of both categories. Discovered in 1977, Chiron was the first centaur to be identified. It orbits the Sun between Saturn and Uranus and has a relatively stable orbit, which takes it approximately 50 years to complete one revolution around the Sun.

The term "229762 Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà" appears to refer to a specific individual, likely associated with the Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà language, which is spoken by the Khoisan people in Southern Africa, primarily in Botswana and Namibia.
28978 Ixion
28978 Ixion is a centaur, a type of celestial object that orbits the Sun between the orbits of Jupiter and Neptune. Centaurs are characterized by having characteristics of both asteroids and comets. Ixion was discovered on April 19, 2001, by astronomers using the Linear (Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research) project. Ixion is named after the mythological figure Ixion from Greek mythology, who was the king of the Lapiths.
38628 Huya
38628 Huya is a small asteroid that orbits the Sun in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. It is classified as an Apollo-type asteroid, which means its orbit crosses that of Earth. The asteroid was discovered on April 19, 1991, by the team of astronomers at the Chinese Arecibo Observatory. The name "Huya" is derived from a character in Chinese mythology, Huya, who is associated with the creation and the cosmos.
471143 Dziewanna
471143 Dziewanna is a trans-Neptunian object located in the Kuiper Belt, a region of the Solar System beyond the orbit of Neptune that is populated with small icy bodies. It was discovered on June 24, 2006, and is classified as a centaur, indicating that it has characteristics of both asteroids and comets. The name "Dziewanna" comes from Slavic mythology, where Dziewanna is known as a goddess of plants and forests.
54598 Bienor
54598 Bienor is a provisional designation for a minor planet that orbits the Sun in the asteroid belt. It was discovered on January 7, 2001, by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program. Named after a character from Greek mythology, Bienor is categorized as a member of the larger group of asteroids classified as "Asteroids with a high inclination." It has a diameter of approximately 4.
704 Interamnia
704 Interamnia is a large asteroid located in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on May 21, 1910, by the Italian astronomer Giovanni Virginio Schiaparelli. The asteroid is named after the ancient Italian city of Interamna, which is now called Terni. Interamnia is one of the largest asteroids in the Asteroid Belt, with a diameter of approximately 315 kilometers (about 196 miles).
List of possible dwarf planets
As of my last update, the following is a list of celestial objects that are considered potential dwarf planets or have been proposed as such: 1. **Pluto** - The most famous dwarf planet, located in the Kuiper Belt. 2. **Eris** - A distant object also found in the Kuiper Belt, slightly smaller than Pluto but more massive. 3. **Haumea** - Known for its elongated shape and rapid rotation, it resides in the Kuiper Belt.
U (trans-Neptunian object)
U is a designation for a specific trans-Neptunian object (TNO) that was discovered in the outer solar system. TNOs are icy bodies that orbit the Sun at a greater distance than Neptune. They are part of a larger group of objects known as the Kuiper Belt, which contains many similar bodies. The designation "U" is used here for clarity, as there can be multiple objects with similar naming conventions.
