35 Leukothea is a large, dark asteroid from the asteroid belt. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Theodor Robert Luther on April 19, 1855,[1] and named after Leukothea, a sea goddess in Greek mythology. Its historical symbol was a pharos (ancient lighthouse); it was encoded in Unicode 17.0 as U+1CED0 (File:Leukothea symbol (fixed width).svg).[2][3]

Leukothea is a C-type asteroid in the Tholen classification system,[4] suggesting a carbonaceous composition. It is orbiting the Sun with a period of Script error: No such module "convert". and has a cross-sectional size of 103.1 km.
Photometric observations of this asteroid from the Organ Mesa Observatory in Las Cruces, New Mexico during 2010 gave a light curve with a rotation period of Script error: No such module "val". hours and a brightness variability of Script error: No such module "val". in magnitude. This is consistent with previous studies in 1990 and 2008.[5]
The computed Lyapunov time for this asteroid is 20,000 years, indicating that it occupies a chaotic orbit that will change randomly over time because of gravitational perturbations of the planets.[6]
