context_page_description: 898 Hildegard is a bright background asteroid, approximately 12 kilometers in diameter, that is located in the central regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf at the Heidelberg-Königstuhl State Observatory on 3 August 1918 and given the provisional designations A918 PG and 1918 EA. The stony S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 24.9 hours and a relatively high orbital eccentricity of 0.37. It was probably named after Saint Hildegard of Bingen.
