If something is objective, then it is based on empirical, observable data without applying personal preconceptions or experience. It is the opposite of subjective.
As a noun, an objective refers to a purpose, target or goal. It may also refer to a lens in a telescope.
In grammar the objective case is a specialized use of a noun as the object of a transitive verb or of a preposition,.
