Asteroid84, Klio, was discovered on August 25, 1865 by Robert Luther at Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany.
Klio was named for one of the nine Muses of Greco-Roman mythology, daughters of Hermes and Mnemosyne who were goddesses of the arts and sciences; Klio was the Muse of history.
William Manchester (born April 1, 1922 in Attleboro, Massachusetts) had Klio in the second house, cusping the third, conjunct Ixion (creating karma), square Mars (anger), and quincunx Pandora (to cause a stir, have an impact, unintended consequences).
84Klio (klye'-oh) is a quite large and very dark Main belt asteroid.
The name Clio had previously been suggested by the discoverer of 12 Victoria, and that is the name B. Gould, editor of the prestigious Astronomical Journal, adopted for that asteroid, because of the controversy over the name Victoria.
An occultation by Klio over a dim star was observed on April 2, 1997.
On 2007 Apr 15 UT, the 79 kmdiameterasteroid (84) Klio will occult a 10.8 mag star in the constellation Pisces for observers along a path across northern Australia, passing over Proserpine.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 2.9 mag to 13.6 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 1.6 seconds.
2 The asteroid masses and densities(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The mass of Europa obtained from Klio as the test asteroid is very high.
The next argument for the rejecting of this solution is that the year of the closest encounter between Klio and Europa, 1994, is very recent and future observations of Klio are required.
However, inspection of the dynamical models for Klio in Table 4 shows that there is no perturber capable of decreasing the mass of Europa.
Measuring the Distance to the Sun: Final Report(Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Because of the difficulties of finding cooperative groups we tested the algorithms and the possibilities of our own equipment in close cooperation with the Astronomische Arbeitsgemeinschaft Osnabrück (the details of theses tests are described in the document FirstTests.).
For instance, we measured the positions of Klio due to the first and the last picture, respectively.
The above pictures illustrate the corresponding difficulties: In spite of the GSC catalogue's size the near vicinity of Klio in the sky map seems to be empty.

These pictures show the minor planet 84Klio on October 14, 1996 (the object in the lower right corner).
Instead of Mars we will use a minor planet which is opposite to the Sun and therefore relatively close to the Earth (1 AU approximately) and can be observed during the entire night.
They show the minor planet 84Klio at October 14, 1996 (ephemeris data of this asteroid and some others are contained in a separate paper).
On 2007 May 14 UT, the 79 kmdiameterasteroid (84) Klio will occult a 9.6 mag star in the constellation Pisces for observers along a path across central Queensland ending over Bowen.
In the case of an occultation, the combined light of the asteroid and the star will drop by 4.0 mag to 13.6 mag (the magnitude of the asteroid) for at most 1.8 seconds.
The third picture help you to imagine the magnitude of the parallax effect of a near by object.
It shows you two pictures of Klio on 1996 Oct 1.0 (number 84 near the center), one of them taken (that means calculated with Guide 4.0 but we hope to make pictures by ourselves and to get others!) from Koblenz (latitude +50 degrees) the other from a city with latitude -50 degrees.
