Alascattalo is a mid-sized asteroid orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in the main portion of the asteroid belt. NASA JPL has not classified Alascattalo as potentially hazardous because its orbit does not bring it close to Earth.

2500 Alascattalo, provisional designation 1926 GC, is a stony Flora asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 8 kilometers in diameter. The asteroid was discovered on 2 April 1926, by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at …

Mar 27, 2019 · 2500 Alascattalo is an asteroid that orbits the Sun. The vast majority of asteroids can be found orbiting the Sun between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Asteroids tend to be irregularly shaped but Ceres is a notable exception in that it is spherical like a planet and has been upgraded to Dwarf Planet status.

Broad-band photometric monitoring of the stony asteroid 2500 Alascattalo was carried out over three nights in 2023 February. We find a typical color of V–R = 0.44 ± 0.05 mag, which is in good agreement with expectations for S-class asteroids.
