	Triplicity of 87 Sylvia
		Because 87 Sylvia was named after Rhea Sylvia, the mythical mother of the founders of Rome, the team proposed naming the twin moons after those founders: Romulus and Remus.
		Sylvia's moons are considerably smaller, orbiting in nearly circular orbits and in the same plane and direction.
		The asteroid 87 Sylvia is one of the largest known from the asteroid main belt, and is located about 3.5 times further away from the Sun than the Earth, between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

		87 Sylvia itself was known to have one companion ever since the discovery of its first moon in 2001.
		87 Sylvia is named after Rhea Sylvia of Roman mythology, so it is only natural that her two moons are named after Sylvia’s two sons – Remus and Romulus, the founders of Rome.
		According to Marchis and his colleagues, 87 Sylvia was probably formed when an ancient asteroid collided with another and crumbled under the impact.

	87 Sylvia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		87 Sylvia (sil'-vee-a) is one of the largest main belt asteroids.
		Sylvia is remarkable for being the first known asteroid to possess more than one moon.
		Sylvia is also a fairly fast rotator, turning about its axis every 5.18 hours (giving an equatorial rotation velocity of about 160 km/h or 98 mph).

		Marchis and his colleagues became interested in 87 Sylvia, one of the largest rocks in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, after another team announced in 2001 that it had discovered a single moon circling the asteroid.
		The orbits of both moons, along with the size of 87 Sylvia, reveal that the large asteroid has an average density less than half that of solid rock, the team calculates.
		Discovered in 1866, 87 Sylvia is named after Rhea Sylvia, the mythical mother of the founders of Rome.

		This implies that the companion to 87 Sylvia is much older than the other two, and/or that 45 Eugenia and 107 Camilla have been resurfaced more recently than their companions.
		That the companion to 87 Sylvia has the same color as the primary indicates that either the surfaces are of substantially the same age, or that the “resurfacing” processes don’t have a big effect on the surface of 87 Sylvia (or have an equal effect on the companion and primary).
		Note that the bright spot to the lower right of 87 Sylvia does not appear on the other images in the sequence, and so is not another companion.

	Astronomy - Sylvia and her moons - Laura Baird
		Sylvia, which was discovered in 1866, resides 3.5 AU away in the main asteroid belt, between Mars and Jupiter's orbits (1 AU is the average Earth-Sun distance).
		The asteroid was named for Rhea Sylvia, the mythological mother of the founders of Rome, and the moons have been named after her twin children: Romulus and Remus.
		The new data reveal Sylvia's density is only 20-percent greater than water, meaning it is a loose collection of rock and water ice, or what is known as a "rubble-pile" asteroid.

	87 Sylvia - Wikipedia
		Sylvia è un corpo celeste di grande interesse poiché è il primo asteroide noto a possedere più di un satellite (finora ne sono stati individuati due, ma si crede che possano essercene altri di dimensioni minori).
		Sylvia fu scoperto da Norman Robert Pogson il 16 maggio 1866 da Madras (l'attuale Chennai, in India).
		Sylvia, inoltre, è un rotatore piuttosto rapido, compiendo un giro completo intorno ai suoi assi ogni 5,18 ore circa (con una velocità di rotazione equatoriale, quindi, pari a circa 160 km/h).

		Caption: ESO PR Video Clip 03/05 is an artist rendering of the triple asteroid system showing the large asteroid 87 Sylvia spinning at a rapid rate and surrounded by two smaller asteroids (Remus and Romulus) in orbit around it.
		One of these asteroids was 87 Sylvia, which was known to be double since 2001, from observations made by Mike Brown and Jean-Luc Margot with the Keck telescope.
		Because 87 Sylvia was named after Rhea Sylvia, the mythical mother of the founders of Rome [3], Marchis proposed naming the twin moons after those founders: Romulus and Remus.
