21088 Chelyabinsk

21088 Chelyabinsk (provisional designation 1992 BL2) is a stony asteroid and near-Earth object of the Amor group, approximately 4 kilometers in diameter.

It was discovered on 30 January 1992, by Belgian astronomer Eric Elst at ESO's La Silla Observatory in northern Chile.

A first precovery was taken during the Digitized Sky Survey at the Australia Siding Spring Observatory in January 1990, extending the asteroid's observation arc by 2 years prior to its official discovery at La Silla.

[5] Two rotational light-curves of Chelyabinsk were obtained by Czech astronomer Petr Pravec at Ondřejov Observatory in December 2002 and September 2004, respectively.
