Bellona (
minor planet designation: 28 Bellona) is a large
main-belt
asteroid. It was discovered by German astronomer
R. Luther on March 1, 1854, and named after
Bellōna, the
Roman goddess of
war; the name was chosen to mark the beginning of the
Crimean War. Its historical symbol was Bellona's whip and spear; it is in the pipeline for
Unicode 17.0 as U+1CECE (

).

Bellona is a stony ( S-type) asteroid with a cross-section size of around 100–120 km. 28 Bellona is orbiting the Sun with a period of 4.63 years.
Bellona has been studied by radar. [10] Photometric observations of this asteroid at the Palmer Divide Observatory in Colorado Springs, Colorado in 2007 gave a light curve with a period of 15.707 ± 0.002 hours and a brightness variation of 0.27 ± 0.03 in magnitude. This report is in close agreement with a period estimate of 15.695 hours reported in 1983, and rejects a longer period of 16.523 hours reported in 1979. [11]
