1840 Hus (prov. designation: 1971 UY) is a stony Koronis asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 12.5 kilometers (7.8 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 26 October 1971, by Czech astronomer Luboš Kohoutek at the Bergedorf Observatory in Hamburg, Germany.[1] The S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 4.8 hours and is likely elongated in shape.[4][10] It was later named after 15th-century theologian Jan Hus.[2]
