Asteroid 324 Bamberga

Asteroid 324 Bamberga was discovered by Austrian Johann Palisa on 25 February 1892 in Vienna. It is a dark C-type asteroid, approximately 224 kilometers in diameter, located in the outer regions of the asteroid belt. The asteroid is named after the town of Bamberg in Bavaria Bamberga has a relatively long rotation period of 23.2 hours and orbits the Sun at an average distance of 3.23 astronomical units (AU), taking 5.3 years to complete one orbit.

Asteroid 324 Bamberga is currently in the constellation of Leo. The current Right Ascension of Asteroid 324 Bamberga is 10h 14m 50s and the Declination is +12° 03’ 10” (topocentric coordinates computed for the selected location: Greenwich, United Kingdom edit_location_alt). The current magnitude of Asteroid 324 Bamberga is 13.13 (JPL).

The distance of Asteroid 324 Bamberga from Earth is currently 567,642,388 kilometers, equivalent to 3.794455 Astronomical Units. Light takes 31 minutes and 33.4512 seconds to travel from Asteroid 324 Bamberga and arrive to us.

The following chart shows the distance of Asteroid 324 Bamberga from Earth as a function of time. In the chart the distance data is measured in Astronomical Units and sampled with an interval of 1 day.

The value of the reported distance might be somewhat inaccurate around the times of closest approach for objects passing extremely close to Earth. The value of the distance of 324 Bamberga from Earth is also available as a real time updated value in the Live Position and Data Tracker.

Closest Approach of Asteroid 324 Bamberga to Earth

Between 1 January 1900 and 31 December 2099, the closest approach of Asteroid 324 Bamberga to Earth happens on Wed Sep 26 2057 at a distance of 0.787268 Astronomical Units, or 117,773,542 kilometers:

NOTE: values for the closest approach are computed with a sampling interval of 1 day.

Asteroid 324 Bamberga Brightness and Light Curve

The following chart is the predicted light curve (visual magnitude as a function of time) of Asteroid 324 Bamberga, according to the most recent ephemerides data. Magnitude data is sampled with a 2 days interval and there might be inaccuracies for objects changing brightness very rapidly during the course of a few days. For comets there could be large discrepancies between the observed and predicted brightness because of their highly dynamic behaviour.
