The Story Behind Asteroid 18932 Robinhood
How an authentic NASA-cataloged deep space asteroid became the inspiration for the first astronomical NFT collection on Robinhood Chain.
The Real Asteroid 18932 Robinhood (2000 QH35)
On August 28, 2000, the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) telescope discovered a massive 3.8-kilometer diameter space rock orbiting in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Official astronomical observatories named this celestial body 18932 Robinhood.
Larger than 99% of all charted asteroids and comparable in size to Manhattan Island, 18932 Robinhood completes an orbit around the Sun every 1,310 days. We decided to bridge this extraordinary astronomical discovery with decentralized culture, immortalizing its coordinates into exactly 1,893 unique on-chain relics on the Robinhood EVM Chain.
The Astronomical Discovery
Cataloged on SpaceReference.org, 18932 Robinhood was officially discovered on August 28, 2000. It stands as an authentic, NASA-tracked cosmic artifact orbiting the Sun between 1.79 AU and 2.90 AU.
Why 18932 Robinhood?
When we learned that a real deep-space asteroid bears the name Robinhood, the vision was instant: honor this cosmic namesake by launching an exclusive, mathematically finite collection natively on the Robinhood EVM Chain.
1,893 On-Chain Relics
Each of the 1,893 NFTs represents a sector of the asteroid, sculpted into high-end 3D financial momentum art. Holding a relic gives you verified, immutable custody of this astronomical legacy on the blockchain forever.
