(6025) Naotosato is an asteroid of the main belt , which on 30 December 1992 by the Japanese astronomer Takeshi Urata at Nihondaira Observatory ( IAU code was discovered 385). The first sightings of the asteroid had already been made in September 1954 under the provisional designation 1954 SG 1 at the Goethe Link Observatory in Brooklyn .
The asteroid belongs to the Eos family , a group of asteroids which typically have large semiaxes from 2.95 to 3.1 AU , bounded inward by the Kirkwood gap of the 7: 3 resonance with Jupiter , and orbital inclinations between 8 ° and 12 °. The group is named after the asteroid (221) Eos . The family is believed to have emerged from a collision more than a billion years ago.
(6025) Naotosato was named on February 2, 1999 in honor of the Japanese amateur astronomer Naoto Satō .
