937 Bethgea

Main-belt asteroid

937 Bethgea is a background asteroid from the inner region of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 12 September 1920 by German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth, from Heidelberg.

Photometric observations of this asteroid made at the Torino Observatory in Italy during 1990–1991 were used to determine a synodic rotation period of 8.356 ± 0.006 hours.[2][3]
