3782 Celle, provisional designation 1986 TE, is a bright Vestian asteroid and asynchronous binary system from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 6.5 kilometers (4 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 3 October 1986, by Danish astronomer Poul Jensen at the Brorfelde Observatory in Denmark and named after the German city of Celle.[1] The V-type asteroid has a rotation period of 3.84 hours.[3] The discovery of its 2.3-kilometer minor-planet moon was announced in 2003.[5][6]
