(35671) 1998 SN165, also written as (35671) 1998 SN165, is a trans-Neptunian object. It was discovered on September 23, 1998 by A. Gleason at Steward Observatory. It is classified as a plutino with a 2:3 mean motion resonance with Neptune.
As of August 2001 it was still the largest Plutino, other than Pluto and Charon so far identified.[2] But later discoveries, such as 38628 Huya[1], 28978 Ixion. and 90482 Orcus are larger.
