Asteroid 1001, also known as Béla, is a small celestial body located in the Main Asteroid Belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. It was discovered on March 1, 1923, by the astronomer K. Reinmuth at the Heidelberg Observatory in Germany. This asteroid is classified as a C-type asteroid, which means it is composed mainly of carbonaceous materials. With a diameter of approximately 15 kilometers, Asteroid 1001 is relatively small compared to other asteroids. Its orbit around the Sun takes about 4.5 years, and it has a low albedo, indicating that it reflects only a small amount of sunlight. The study of asteroids like Béla helps scientists understand the early solar system and the formation of planets.
