9344 Klopstock (1991 RB4) is a dark main-belt asteroid that is 17 km in diameter and was discovered on September 12, 1991 by F. Borngen at Tautenburg.[1] With an albedo of 0.01, it is the 3rd darkest asteroid on the JPL Small-Body Database.[2] The very low albedo (reflectivity) makes the asteroid unusually large for the absolute magnitude (H) of 14.2.
