1152 Pawona is a main belt asteroid orbiting the Sun. Approximately 16 kilometers in diameter, it makes a revolution around the Sun once every 4 years. It completes one rotation once every 3 hours. It was discovered by Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth at Heidelberg, Germany on January 8, 1930.^[1] It was independently discovered by L. Volta in Pino Torinese on the January 19 and by Grigory Nikolaevich Neujmin at Simeis on January 28. Its name is a combination of the names of astronomers J. Palisa and M. Wolf, in recognition of their cooperation. The asteroid's provisional name was 1930 AD.^[2]
