3122 Florence

*3122 Florence*, provisional designation 1981 ET3, is a stony asteroid
of the Amor
group, classified as near-Earth
object and potentially
hazardous asteroid
,
approximately 5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered on 2 March 1981
by American astronomer Schelte Bus
at Siding Spring Observatory
.[3]

*Florence* orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.02.5 AU
once every 2 years and 4
months (859 days). Its orbit has an eccentricity
of 0.42 and an
inclination of 22
with respect to the ecliptic
.[1]

Florence is classified as a potentially hazardous asteroid
(PHA), [1]
due to
both its absolute magnitude
(*H* 22) and its minimum
orbit intersection distance
(*MOID*
0.05 AU).[18]

On 2017-Sep-01 it will pass 0.04723 AU
(7,066,000 km
; 4,390,000 mi
) from Earth[19]
,
brightening to apparent magnitude
8.5, when it will be
visible in small telescopes for several nights as it moves through the
constellations Piscis Austrinus, Capricornus, Aquarius and Delphinus.[20]

Any chance of 3122 Florence having large amounts of water? It is described
as a minor planet.
