2017 SV13 is a centaur and damocloid on a retrograde and highly eccentric orbit from the outer region of the Solar System. It was first observed on 17 September 2017 by the Pan-STARRS survey at Haleakala Observatory in Hawaii, United States.[1] This unusual object measures approximately 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter.[3]
