1380 Volodia (prov. designation: 1936 FM) is a carbonaceous background asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 16 March 1936, by French astronomer Louis Boyer at the North African Algiers Observatory in Algeria.[3] Five nights later, Volodia was independently discovered by Eugène Delporte at Uccle in Belgium.[2] The dark D-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8 hours and measures approximately 22 kilometers (14 miles) in diameter.
