110393 Rammstein is an asteroid (officially a minor planet) named after the German NDH-Metal band Rammstein. It was discovered by Jean-Claude Merlin.
(110393) Rammstein is in a 4.46-year elliptical orbit around the sun ranging in distance from 370.0 million km at perihelion to 440.7 million km at aphelion. The last perihelion passage occurred on 2011 Feb. 16.8 UT. The orbit is inclined by 12.1 degrees to the ecliptic plane. A telescope is required to see this minor planet as its maximum brightness is 1/48193 of the brightness of the faintest objects that can be seen with the naked eye.[2] The Minor Planet Center officially announced the naming of the minor planet on February 23, 2006.
