Abundantia


Asteroid 151, Abundantia, is a main-belt asteroid discovered on November 1, 1875 by Johann Palisa at Pola Observatory in Pula, Croatia. It has a period of 4 years, 64 days and is 45.37 kilometers in diameter (about 28 1/5 miles).

It was named for the Roman goddess of abundance; the name was inspired by the abundance of minor planets between Mars and Jupiter.
