1373 Cincinnati is a Main belt asteroid. It has a somewhat irregular orbit. Otherwise it is probably a typical member of the belt. In physics, an orbit is the path that an object makes, around another object, whilst under the influence of a source of centripetal force, such as gravity. ... The asteroid belt is a region of the solar system falling roughly between the planets Mars and Jupiter where the greatest concentration of asteroid orbits can be found. ...

Jump to: navigation, search A year is the time between two recurrences of an event related to the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. ... Inclination is one of the six orbital parameters describing the shape and orientation of a celestial orbit and is the angular distance of the orbital plane from the plane of the reference (usually planets equator or the ecliptic), stated in degrees. ... In astrodynamics, under standard assumptions any orbit must be of conic section shape. ... For the geometric term, see diameter. ... A kilometre (American spelling: kilometer), symbol: km is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 1000 metres (from the Greek words χίλια (khilia) = thousand and μέτρο (metro) = count/measure). ... Jump to: navigation, search In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standardized distance away. ... Jump to: navigation, search Edwin Hubble Edwin Powell Hubble (November 20, 1889 – September 28, 1953) was an American astronomer, noted for his discovery of galaxies beyond the Milky Way and the cosmic red shift. ...

Cincinnati was discovered by the famous American astronomer Edwin Hubble on August 30, 1935. It was his only asteroid discovery. It is named after the Cincinnati Observatory, whose staff did most of the orbit computations. An astronomer or astrophysicist is a scientist whose area of research is astronomy or astrophysics. ...
