    1170 Siva, provisional designation 1930 SQ, is an eccentric, stony asteroid and large Mars-crosser from the innermost regions of the asteroid belt, about 10 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Belgian astronomer Eugène Delporte at the Royal Observatory of Belgium in Uccle on 29 September 1930.[8]

    The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.6–3.0 AU once every 3 years and 7 months (1,296 days). Its orbit shows a high eccentricity of 0.30 and is significantly tilted by 22 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of about 5 hours[lower-alpha 1] and an albedo of 0.18 and 0.13, based on observations collected by the IRAS and Akari satellites, respectively.[4][5] With an absolute magnitude (H) of 12.4, it is brighter than several other, well-known Mars-crossing asteroids[9]

    The minor planet is named after Hindu Deity Shiva, often depicted with a third eye on his forehead and a with a snake around his neck.[2]
