6489 Golevka is a prograde asteroid that was discovered by Eleanor F Helin in November 1991, and was given the designation 1991 JX at the time. In 1995, Goldstone in California, Yevpatoria in Ukraine, and Kashima Center in Japan simultaneously radar observed Golevka. The name Golevka comes from portions of the names of each of the observatories.

There is virtually no gravity on the surface of Golevka, even if you land carefully on the hard surface, you will drift off due to the Sun's gravity.
