982 Franklina (prov. designation: A922 KF or 1922 MD) is a background asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 32 kilometers (20 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 21 May 1922, by South African astronomer Harry Edwin Wood at the Union Observatory in Johannesburg.[1] The uncommon A/Ld-type asteroid has a rotation period of at least 16 hours.[5] It was named after British amateur astronomer John Franklin Adams (1843–1912).[2]
