1719 Jens, provisional designation 1950 DP, is a stony asteroid from the middle region of the asteroid belt, about 19 kilometres (12 miles) in diameter. It was discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on 17 February 1950.[11]

The S-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.1–3.2 AU once every 4 years and 4 months (1,583 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.22 and is tilted by 14 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 5.9 hours and an albedo of about 0.13, according to surveys carried out by IRAS, WISE and NEOWISE.[4][5][6]

The minor planet was named by the discoverer after his grandson, Jens. Reinmuth also named the consecutively numbered asteroid, 1720 Niels, after one of his grandsons.[2]

In 2010, NASA's WISE satellite photographed the asteroid passing in front of the Tadpole Nebula.[12]

1719 Jens tracks across this image of the Tadpole Nebula, seen as a line of yellow-green dots near centre.
