1721 Wells
1721 Wells, provisional designation , is a dark asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 40 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by the Indiana Asteroid Program at the U.S. Goethe Link Observatory near Brooklyn, Indiana, on 3 October 1953.〔 The asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.0–3.3 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,039 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.05 and is tilted by 16 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has an albedo of 0.053.〔 The minor planet was named in honor of Herman B. Wells (1902–2000), longtime president and chancellor of Indiana University. Almost single handed, he changed Indiana University from a small locally oriented college into a world class institution of higher learning. Over the years, he also served the cause of higher education on the national and international level with great distinction and statesmanship.〔 == References ==
