3333 Schaber, provisional designation 1980 TG₅, is a dark background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 26 kilometers (16 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 9 October 1980, by American astronomer Carolyn Shoemaker at the Palomar Observatory in California.^[1] The presumably elongated C-type asteroid has a rotation period of 10.97 hours.^[3] It was named after American geologist Gerald Schaber of the USGS.^[1]
