(9578) Klyazma Main-belt Asteroid
Discovered on 3 April 1989 by E. W. Elst at La Silla.
The Klyazma river, with its source north of Moscow and a total length of 686 km, flows gently in an easterly direction. It has always been an important river for transportation, since it is connected by the Oka river with the Volga at Nizhny Novgorod.Naming citation (20071124/MPCPages.arc), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
