24328 Thomasburr (provisional designation: 2000 AF54) is a main-belt minor planet. It was discovered by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research project in Socorro, New Mexico, on January 4, 2000. It is named after Thomas McLean Burr, an American high school student whose behavioral and social sciences project won second place at the 2008 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair. Thomas is now attending Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Asteroids (from Greek ἀστήρ 'star' and εἶδος 'like, in form') are a class of Small Solar System Bodies in orbit around the Sun. They have also been called planetoids, especially the larger ones. These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets, and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids.
