Template:Minor Planet 399 Persephone is a typical Main belt asteroid.

It was discovered by Max Wolf on February 23, 1895 in Heidelberg. Since the discovery of 2003 UB313 there is minor speculation that its name may be taken away and replaced so that this "10th planet" can have the name Persephone.

This could very well occur as the 399th asteroid is a very obscure thing, and there can be little confusion between a planet and an asteroid.

This article about an asteroid native to the asteroid belt is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.
