context_page_description: 4230 van den Bergh is a highly elongated Hildian asteroid and member of the Schubart family from the outer regions of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on 19 September 1973, by Dutch astronomer couple Ingrid and Cornelis van Houten at Leiden Observatory, on photographic plates taken by Dutch–American astronomer Tom Gehrels at the Palomar Observatory, California. The assumed carbonaceous C-type asteroid asteroid has a very long rotation period of 88 hours and measures approximately 37 kilometers in diameter. It was named for Dutch–Canadian astronomer Sidney Van den Bergh.
