List of minor planets
The following is a list of numbered minor planets in numerical order. Minor planets are all small bodies in the Solar System , including dwarf planets , with the exception of comets . The catalog consists of hundreds of pages, each containing 1000 minor planets. Every month, several thousand minor planets are newly numbered by the Minor Planet Center on behalf of the International Astronomical Union (see index ) . [1] As of October 2018 [update] there are 523,824 numbered minor planets (secured discoveries) out of a total of 789,069 observed bodies. [2] [3]

This is a list of numbered minor planets in the Solar System, in numerical order. As of December 2017 [ref] there are 746,412 minor planets of which 508,765 are numbered (secured discoveries). Every month, several thousand minor planets are newly numbered and added to this list. [1] [2] It is expected that upcoming survey projects such as the LSST will discover 5 million minor planets during the next ten years, a tenfold increase from the current number. [3] |
