Краткое описание:
60622 Pritchet (2000 FK8) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on March 30, 2000 by D. D. Balam at the Dominion Astrophysical Observatory in Victoria, British Columbia. The Asteroid is named for Chris Pritchet, a Canadian astronomer at the University of Victoria. 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.
