Okay, so imagine a really big space with a lot of rocks and things floating around. One of those things is called 2340 Hathor. It's like a giant rock, kind of like a planet but smaller.
Scientists use big telescopes to watch 2340 Hathor and learn more about it. They measure things like how big it is and how fast it's moving. They also look at what it's made of and what it looks like.
Even though 2340 Hathor might seem really far away, scientists still like to study it because it can give them clues about how our whole solar system was formed a really long time ago.
