Colpa



Asteroid 5042, Colpa, was discovered on June 20, 1974 at El Leoncito. It has a period of 5 years, 79 days.

Colpa is the word used by the Huarpe indigenous people of Argentina to refer to those stones that, in their judgment, were composed of pure minerals. Agriculture and mining were the two most important activities of the Huarpes, who flourished in what is now San Juan province, where this minor planet was discovered.
