120347 Salacia

120347 Salacia is a trans-Neptunian object that resides in the Kuiper belt. It was discovered on September 22, 2004, by Henry G. Roe, Michael E. Brown, and Kristina M. Barkume at the Palomar Observatory. Mike Brown's website lists Salacia as a highly likely dwarf planet, and is large enough to be accepted as one under the 2006 draft proposal of the IAU, though the IAU has not formally recognized it as such. Salacia's diameter is estimated to be 900 km.

It has been observed 100 times with precovery images back to 1982.

Salacia orbits the Sun at an average distance slightly greater than that of Pluto.
