767 Bondia (prov. designation: A913 SD or 1913 SX) is a Themis asteroid from the outer regions of the asteroid belt, approximately 43 kilometers (27 miles) in diameter. It was discovered on 23 September 1913, by American astronomer Joel Hastings Metcalf at his observatory (799) in Winchester, Massachusetts.[1] The B-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8.3 hours. It was named after William Cranch Bond (1789–1859) and his son George Phillips Bond (1825–1865), both American astronomers and directors of the Harvard College Observatory in Cambridge, Massachusetts.[2]
