1140 Crimea is a main-belt asteroid orbiting the Sun. Approximately 28 kilometers in diameter, it makes a revolution around the Sun once every 5 years. It completes one rotation once every 10 hours, and its orbital period is 4.61 years.[1] It was discovered by Grigory Nikolaevich Neujmin on December 30, 1929 at the Simeiz Observatory.[1] It is named for the European peninsula of Crimea (at the time part of the Russian SFSR), where Simeiz is located. Its provisional designation was 1929 YC.[2][3]
