326732 Nice (provisional designation 2003 HB6) is a binary near-Earth asteroid, and then named Nice, district capital city of the Alpes-Maritimes (France), by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) on 24 February 2025.[2]
Nice is home of the Côte d’Azur Observatory, the Lagrange laboratory and its planetology team called TOP, for Theories and Observations in Planetology, involved in many studies and discoveries in asteroid science.[1] This aim was to highlight the city and its leading role in astronomical research, according to Dr Patrick Michel, working in this institution and PI of Hera, an European Space Agency mission also heading towards a binary asteroid (Didymos).[3][4][5]
This Amor NEA was first discovered by the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object Search (LONEOS) on 25 April 2003 at Anderson Mesa.[2]
