21509 Lucascavin (1998 KL35) is a main-belt asteroid discovered on May 22, 1998 by the Lincoln Near-Earth Asteroid Research team at Socorro, New Mexico.[1] This asteroid is believed to result from the collisional destruction of a larger parent body approximately 300,000 to 800,000 years ago.[5] The asteroid was named for Lucas James Cavin who won second place in the 2005 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for his engineering project.[6]
