3752 Camillo

3752 Camillo is an inclined contact-binary asteroid, classified as near-Earth object of the Apollo group, approximately 2.3 kilometers (1.4 miles) in diameter.

It was discovered on 15 August 1985, by astronomers Eleanor Helin and Maria Barucci using a 0.9-metre (35 in) telescope at the CERGA Observatory in Caussols, France.

Lightcurve studies by Petr Pravec in 1998 suggest that the assumed S-type asteroid has an elongated shape and a longer-than average rotation period of 38 hours.

It came to perihelion (its closest approach to the Sun) on 6 January 1976 and, on 17 February 1976 and passed within 0.08013 AU (11,987,000 km; 7,449,000 mi) of Earth.

It was observed on radar by Arecibo Observatory and shown to have a long angular double-lobed shape.

The orbit of Camillo is highly inclined. Vertical lines show the distance above and below the ecliptic every 30 days.
