3059 Pryor (1981 EF23) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on March 3, 1981 by S. J. Bus at Siding Spring. It is named for American astronomer Tad Pryor in honor of his participation in the Palomar Planet-Crossing Asteroid Survey when he was as an undergraduate student at Caltech. Asteroids (from Greek 'star' and 'like, in form') are a class of Small Solar System Bodies in orbit around the Sun. They have also been called planetoids, especially the larger ones. These terms have historically been applied to any astronomical object orbiting the Sun that did not show the disk of a planet and was not observed to have the characteristics of an active comet, but as small objects in the outer Solar System were discovered, their volatile-based surfaces were found to more closely resemble comets, and so were often distinguished from traditional asteroids.
