1550 Tito

1550 Tito is a minor planet, specifically an asteroid, orbiting the Sun. It was discovered on November 29, 1937, by Serbian astronomer Milorad B. Protić at the Belgrade Observatory in Serbia (then Yugoslavia).

The asteroid is named in honor of Josip Broz Tito (1892-1980), the former President of Yugoslavia. Tito was a prominent figure in the 20th century, leading the Yugoslav Partisans during World War II and later becoming a key leader in the Non-Aligned Movement.

Asteroid 1550 Tito is a main-belt asteroid, meaning it orbits the Sun in the asteroid belt located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Its orbital characteristics and physical properties have been studied by astronomers, but it is not a particularly remarkable asteroid beyond its namesake. Information regarding its size, composition, and rotation period are available in astronomical databases and publications, but it is not generally considered a subject of extensive research. Its discovery and naming serve as a record of the era and the recognition given to Josip Broz Tito at the time.
