846 Lipperta is a slowly rotating Themistian asteroid located in the asteroid belt at a distance of 3.1 AU. It has a slow rotation period of 1641 hours making it one of the slowest rotating objects in the solar system discovered.[1]

Based on lightcurve studies, Lipperta has a rotation period of 1641 hours, but this figure is based on less than full coverage, so that the period may be wrong by 30 percent.[2] The lack of variation in brightness could be caused by (a) very slow rotation, (b) near pole-on viewing aspect, or (c) a spherical body with uniform albedo.[3]

It has been claimed that 846 Lipperta may show comet-like activity but this claim is unconfirmed.[1]
