Revision 4301445 of "List of minor planets" on simplewiki

{{expert}}

This is a '''list of numbered minor planets''', nearly all of them [[asteroid]]s, in sequential order.

As of September 2010, there are 231,665 numbered [[minor planet]]s, and many more not yet numbered. Three minor planets have also been classified as [[dwarf planet]]s. But most asteroids are ordinary and not particularly noteworthy—less than 15,000 of them have been named (the first nameless asteroid having number 3708). For a smaller list of notable asteroids, see [[List of important asteroids]].
