3034 Climenhaga (A917 SE) is a main-belt binary asteroid discovered on September 24, 1917 by Max Wolf at Heidelberg Observatory.[1] It was named in 1987 for Canadian John Leroy Climenhaga of the University of Victoria, in honour of his work in Astrophysics.[2]
A moon was discovered in 2009 orbiting the asteroid with an orbital period of 18 hours and 57 minutes, but the discovery wasn't announced until 2013.[3]
