1248 Jugurtha (also known as 1932 RO, 1930 DU, A901 VE, and A915 XB) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on September 1, 1932, by Cyril V. Jackson at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg, South Africa,[2][3] and independently rediscovered later in the same month by Grigory Neujmin at the Simeiz Observatory in Ukraine.[3] It is named after Jugurtha, who was a king of Numidia, in North Africa, in the second century BC.[3]
1248 Jugurtha is estimated to be approximately 76 km in diameter,[2] and has a synodic period of rotation of approximately 12.19 hours.[2][4]
