(60621) 2000 FE8

(60621) 2000 FE8 is a minor planet, specifically an asteroid. It was discovered on March 27, 2000, by the Spacewatch project at Kitt Peak National Observatory. Its designation, "(60621) 2000 FE8," follows the standard naming convention for minor planets. The number (60621) is a sequential identification number assigned by the Minor Planet Center (MPC) after its orbit was sufficiently determined. "2000 FE8" is its provisional designation, where "2000" indicates the year of discovery, "F" indicates the half-month of discovery (March 16-31), and "E8" represents the sequential order of discovery within that half-month.

Asteroids like (60621) 2000 FE8 are remnants from the early solar system's formation, and studying them can provide valuable insights into the conditions and processes that shaped the planets. The orbital characteristics and physical properties (size, composition, rotation period) of this particular asteroid are determined through observation and analysis. Detailed information, including orbital parameters, can be found in the databases maintained by the Minor Planet Center and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
