58 Concordia is a quite large Main belt asteroid. It is classified as a C-type asteroid, so its surface is very dark and it is likely carbonaceous in composition. 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. ...

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). ... In astronomy, a rotation period is the time an astronomical object takes to complete one revolution around its rotation axis. ... The hour (symbol: h) is a unit of time. ... In astronomy the term spectral class refers to classifying objects according to their spectral lines, which indicate an objects chemical composition. ... C-type asteroids are carbonaceous asteroids. ... In astronomy, absolute magnitude is the apparent magnitude, m, an object would have if it were at a standardized distance away. ... The albedo is a measure of reflectivity of a surface or body. ... Karl Theodor Robert Luther (April 16, 1822 – February 15, 1900) was a German astronomer who searched for asteroids while working in Düsseldorf. ... 1860 is the leap year starting on Sunday. ... 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. ...
