    3395 Jitka (1985 UN) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on October 20, 1985 by A. Mrkos at Klet.

    This object is a member of the Agnia family of asteroids that share similar orbital elements and physical properties. This family was named after the asteroid 847 Agnia. They most likely formed from the breakup of a basalt object, which in turn was spawned from a larger parent body that underwent igneous differentiation.[1]
