2696 Magion, provisional designation 1980 HB, is a dark background asteroid and a slow rotator from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 21 kilometers (13 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 16 April 1980, by Slovak astronomer Ladislav Brožek at the Kleť Observatory in former Czechoslovakia.[1] The X-type asteroid has an ambiguous rotation period of 480 hours and is possibly a tumbler.[6] It was named for the first Czechoslovak satellite, Magion 1, launched in 1978.[2]
