Asteroid 118401, LINEAR, which is also a comet, was discovered on September 7, 1999 by the Lincoln Laboratory Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) Team at Socorro, New Mexico, which named the asteroid for the project. It has a period of 5 years, 259 days.
Astrologically, LINEAR seems to indicate that which goes in a straight line or in a logical sequence.
The glyph for LINEAR is mine.
