The Karin asteroid family or Karin cluster is a sub-family of the Koronis family. It consists of at least 90 main-belt asteroids. What makes them special is that scientists have used the orbits of 13 members to calculate backwards until they were all found to share the same orbit — that of the parent body from which they all originated.The family is named for its largest member 832 Karin which has a diameter of about 19 km (12 mi).
