26858 Misterrogers (/ˌmɪstər ˈrɒdʒərz/), provisional designation 1993 FR, is a stony asteroid and sizable Mars-crosser on an eccentric orbit from the asteroid belt, approximately 5.1 miles (8.2 kilometers) in diameter. It was discovered on March 21, 1993, by American astronomer Eleanor Helin at the Palomar Observatory in California.[1] The likely S-type asteroid has a rotation period of 8.0 hours.[4] It was named after children's television host Fred Rogers.[1]
