178 Belisana is a stony background asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 38 kilometers (24 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 6 November 1877, by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa at the Austrian Naval Observatory in today's Croatia.[1] The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 12.32 hours and a rather spherical shape.[6] It was named after the Celtic goddess Belisama (Belisana).[2]
