(96205) Ararat is an asteroid of the inner main belt , which was discovered by the German astronomers Freimut Börngen and Lutz D. Schmadel on September 24, 1992 at the Tautenburg Observatory ( IAU code 033) in the Thuringian Tautenburg Forest . The asteroid had already been sighted on September 9 and 10, 1977 under the provisional designation 1977 RO 19 at the Palomar Observatory in California .
Mean distance from the sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid lie within the respective limit values that are defined for the Nysa group, a group of asteroids named after (44) Nysa (also called Hertha family, according to (135) Hertha ).
The track from (96205) Ararat was secured in 2005, so that a numbering could be assigned. The asteroid was named after Mount Ararat on July 21 of the same year at the suggestion of Freimut Börngen .
The Turkish-German-Lebanese music project “Dead Country feat. Alfred 23 Harth “named the piece 96205 Ararat on their CD Gestalt Et Death from 2013 after the asteroid.
