    3137 Horky, provisionally known as (1982 SM1), is a main-belt asteroid discovered on September 16, 1982 by Antonín Mrkos at the Czech Kleť Observatory. The asteroid will make close approaches to larger, more well-known asteroids.[1] Its closest will be 1,440,000 km (0.0096 AU) from 15 Eunomia on May 1, 2019. It will also pass 29 Amphitrite this century, and in the 22nd century, it will pass 7 Iris and 10 Hygiea.

    The asteroid is named after the Czech location (hill) where Antonín Mrkos installed his first telescope in 1939.[2]
