10001 Palermo, provisional designation 1969 TM₁, is a Vestian asteroid and a slow rotator from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 8 October 1969, by Soviet–Russian astronomer Lyudmila Chernykh using a 0.4-meter double astrograph at the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Nauchnij on the Crimean peninsula.^[2] The asteroid is likely elongated in shape and has a long rotation period of 213 hours.^[4] It was named for the Italian city of Palermo to commemorate the discovery of Ceres two hundred years earlier.^[1]
