		The asteroid, named 216 Kleopatra, is a large object in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter; it measures about 217 kilometers long and about 94 kilometers wide.
		Kleopatra could be the remnant of an incredibly violent collision between two asteroids that did not completely shatter and disperse all the fragments.
		Kleopatra's strong reflection of radar signals indicates it is mostly metal possibly a nickel- iron alloy.

		Kleopatra's metallic composition indicates it came from the core of a large differentiated parent body that was smashed apart.
		It may have come about through the collision of two objects that had previously been thoroughly fractured and ground into piles of loosely consolidated rubble (see rubble-pile asteroid).
		Or, Kleopatra may once have been two separate lobes in orbit around each other with empty space between them, with subsequent impacts filling in the area between the lobes with debris.

		Asteroid 216 Kleopatra orbits the sun as part of the asteroid belt, and it's 135 miles long by 58 miles wide (217 x 94km).
		The reflectiveness of Kleopatra's surface suggests that it is mostly metallic, and since iron is the most common metal in the solar system, it's probably mostly ferrous.

		Asteroid 216 Kleopatra, first discovered in 1880, previously was thought to be a solo dumbbell-shaped object.
		They say the session showed that Kleopatra is comprised of two similarly sized lobes, neither of which is small enough to be called a moon.
		Still, the Kleopatra pair could be part of a small class of binary bodies first thought to be singular and later discovered to be more complex.

		Die Konstruktion der Radarbilder zeigt, dass Kleopatra zwei dicke Enden hat, die durch einen "Griff" verbunden sind, sagte Scott Hudson von der Washington State University: "Diese Form kann durch einen Zusammenstoss zweier Objekte, die schon zerschmettert waren, entstanden sein." Daraus habe sich ein lose zusammenhängender Haufen von Geröll gebildet.
