Asteroid 9007, James Bond, was discovered on October 5, 1983 by Antonin Mrkos at Klet Observatory near České Budějovice, South Bohemia, Czech Republic. It has a period of 3 years, 336 days and is about 2 1/3 miles in diameter.
It was named for the fictional British secret agent James Bond (Agent 007), one of the world's best-known fictional characters, who was created by British author Ian Fleming, a former naval intelligence officer who also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Eighteen movies (and counting) were based on Fleming's large body of Cold War spy thrillers starring James Bond; probably the best-known of the many actors to play Agent 007 since the early 1960s are Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan and Roger Moore.
Henk Middelraad has the influence of this asteroid as unusual nativity; other possibilities are relating to the James Bond franchise; resembling James Bond in some way (a secret agent; cool, unflappable, capable, adventurous, ingenious, a commitment-phobic playboy)
