410 Chloris

410 Chloris is a very large main-belt asteroid that was discovered by Auguste Charlois on January 7, 1896, in Nice. It is classified as a C-type asteroid^[4] and is probably composed of primitive carbonaceous material. The spectrum of the asteroid displays evidence of aqueous alteration.^[5] It is the namesake of the Chloris family of asteroids.
