(216390) Binnig is an asteroid of the outer main belt , which was discovered on February 14, 2008 by the German amateur astronomers Erwin Schwab and Rainer Kling at the 60 cm Cassegrain telescope of the Hans Ludwig Neumann observatory on the Kleine Feldberg ( IAU code B01) was discovered.
Mean distance from the Sun ( major semi-axis ), eccentricity and inclination of the orbit plane of the asteroid correspond to the Hygiea family, a rather older group of asteroids, as is suspected, the largest member of which is the asteroid (10) Hygiea .
(216390) Binnig was named on November 28, 2010 after the Frankfurt physicist Gerd Binnig . In 1986, Gerd Binnig received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the development of the scanning tunneling microscope alongside Ernst Ruska and together with Heinrich Rohrer (after whom the asteroid of the inner main belt (215868) Rohrer is named) .
