379 Huenna is a large asteroid orbiting in the asteroid belt. It is part of the Themis family, and thus a C-type asteroid and consequently composed mainly of carbonaceous material.
It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 8 January 1894 in Nice. It is the Latin name for the Swedish island of Ven, the site of two observatories. This island is where Tycho Brahe built his observatory.[6]
