 Asteroid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asteroids are commonly classified into groups based on the characteristics of their orbits and on the details of the spectrum of sunlight they reflect.
Until the age of space travel, asteroids were merely pinpricks of light in even the largest telescopes and their shapes and terrain remained a mystery.
The first true asteroid to be photographed in close-up was 951 Gaspra in 1991, followed in 1993 by 243 Ida and its moon Dactyl, all of which were imaged by the Galileo probe en route to Jupiter.

Saturn -> Astronomical and Physical Characteristics of Saturn Saturn's orbit lies between those of Jupiter and Uranus; its mean distance from the sun is c.886 million mi (1.43 billion km), almost twice that of Jupiter, and its period of revolution is about 291/2 years.
Trojan asteroids Trojan asteroids, two groups of asteroids that revolve about the sun in the same orbit as Jupiter; one group is about 60° ahead of the planet in the orbit, the other about 60° behind it.

 Amor asteroid - Iridis Encyclopedia
Asteroids that get close to the Earth whose orbits are inside the Earth are considered Apohele asteroids (although not all Apohele's necessarily get close to the Earth).
Amor I asteroids that have semi-major axes very close to Earth's (such as 1992 JD) can be considered Arjuna asteroids because they have very low eccentricities and thus Earth-like orbits.
Any asteroid with this trait is considered Amor class asteroids, reguardless of its semi-major axis, eccentricity, aphelion, inclination, physical properties, orbital stability, or place of origin.

Discovered in 1996 as a comet, but orbitally matched to asteroid 1979 OW Note there are a quite a few other cases where a non-numbered asteroid with only a systematic designation (such as 2001 OG108) turned out to be a comet.
Asteroids with orbital inclinations greater than 90° orbit in a retrograde direction.
Prior to this, asteroids are known only by their systematic name or provisional designation, such as "1950 DA".

 Encyclopedia: 944 Hidalgo
With a high eccentricity of 0.66, its perihelion of 1.95 AU takes it to the inner edge of the asteroid belt, while its aphelion of 9.54 AU takes it right out to Saturn 's orbit, a characteristic normally associated with Saturn's family of comets.
Strictly speaking, Hidalgo is a Saturn-grazer rather than a Saturn-crosser as its aphelion does not clear Saturn's.
temperature=~160 K}} 944 Hidalgo is an unusual asteroid, and has the longest orbital period (13.77 years) of any asteroid in the traditional asteroid belt.

 Notes on centaur names
It crosses Saturn but never crosses Jupiter, which means it is much less aggressive than other centaurs like Asbolus, Pholus, or Nessus, which are wild crossers travelling from Neptune and beyond to the region around Saturn.
Orbitally, QM107 is tied to Uranus more than any other centaur so far, never approaching the realm of Saturn, which to me is a good description of the centaurs that fled from that battle unharmed, of which I have: Lycabas, Medon, Melaneus, Mermerus, Pisenor, Thaumas, and Orneus.
Astronomically speaking, all asteroids fall into categories according to their orbital characteristics, which translate into a particular way or form of astrological action.

 Science Fair Projects - 3753 Cruithne
Mars has one known co-orbital asteroid ( 5261 Eureka), and Jupiter has many (about 400 objects, the Trojan asteroids); there are also other small co-orbital moons in the Saturnian system: Telesto and Calypso with Tethys, and Helene with Dione.
Three other near-Earth asteroids (NEAs), (54509) 2000 PH and 2002 AA, which exist in resonant orbits similar to Cruithne's, have been discovered.
Other examples of natural bodies known to be in horseshoe orbits at the time of writing include Janus and Epimetheus, natural satellites of Saturn.

 Asteroid - Enpsychlopedia
For instance Centaurs (asteroids orbiting between Saturn and Neptune) are all named after mythological centaurs, Trojans after heroes from the Trojan War, and trans-Neptunian objects after underworld spirits.
Asteroids are commonly classified into groups based on the characteristics of their orbits and on the details of the spectrum of sunlight they reflect.
Until the age of space travel, asteroids were merely pinpricks of light in even the largest telescopes and their shapes and terrain remained a mystery.

Jupiter has many (about 400 objects, the Trojan asteroids); there are also other small co-orbital moons in the Saturnian system:
The orbits these two moons follow around Saturn are much simpler than the one Cruithne follows, but operate along the same general principles.
After 385 years or so, the kidney bean is now approaching Earth again from the other side, and the Earth, once more, alters the orbit of Cruithne so that its period of revolution around the Sun is again slightly less than a year.
