Asteroid 148975, 2001 XA255, an as yet unnamed Centaur, was discovered on December 9, 2001 at Mauna Kea Observatory near Kamuela, Hawaii by David Jewitt, Scott Sheppard, and Jan Kleyna. It has a period of 166 years, 39 days.

Astrologically, XA255 seems to indicate persecution, judgmental attitude, repudiation, rejection, anathematization..
