(6482) Styria is an asteroid of the outer main belt that was discovered by the German astronomer Freimut Börngen on January 10, 1989 at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory ( IAU code 033) in the Tautenburg Forest . The asteroid had previously been sighted on March 15 and 16, 1978 under the provisional designation 1978 EP 10 at the Palomar Observatory in California .
The asteroid belongs to the Themis family, a group of asteroids named after (24) Themis . The timeless (non- osculating ) orbital elements of (6482) Styria are almost identical to those of five smaller ones (if one considers the absolute brightness of 15.1, 15.9, 16.6, 16.6 and 17.0 compared to 13, 5) Asteroids: (118977) 2000 WQ 183 , (269633) 2011 AJ 44 , (284347) 2006 RT 71 , (345608) 2006 SD 178 and (354737) 2005 SQ 279 .
The railway from (6482) Styria was secured in 1995 so that numbering could be assigned. On November 7th of the same year, the asteroid was named Styria after the federal state of the Republic of Austria at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen .
