		Early inspection of data suggests that mission control is in contact with MINERVA but that it was not successfully dropped onto the asteroid's surface.
		However, at 1:50 am UTC (10:50 am JST) on November 4, it was announced that due to a detection of an anomalous signal at the Go/NoGo decision, the descent, including release of Minerva and the target marker had been canceled.

	Palladium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This element was named by Wollaston in 1804 after the asteroid Pallas, which was discovered two years earlier.

	Comet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Comets are now designated by the year of their discovery followed by a letter indicating the half-month of the discovery and a number indicating the order of discovery (a system similar to that already used for asteroids), so that the fourth comet discovered in the second half of February 2006 would be designated 2006 D4.
		Similarly, Comet Shoemaker-Levy 2 was originally designated asteroid 1990 UL Some near-earth asteroids are thought to be extinct nuclei of comets which no longer experience outgassing.
		Comets are believed to originate in a cloud (the Oort cloud) at large distances from the sun consisting of debris left over from the condensation of the solar nebula; the outer edges of such nebulae are cool enough that water exists in a solid (rather than gaseous) state.

		A variation of this theory is that the moon disintegrated after being struck by a large comet or asteroid.

		Crater (the cup) is one of the 88 modern constellations and was also one of the 48 listed by Ptolemy.

		In 2000, using adaptive optics at the Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea it was discovered that Antiope is in fact a double asteroid, consisting of two individual bodies separated by 170 kilometers, orbiting around a common center.
		Additional studies by lightcurve variation and adaptive optics at ESO - VLT indicate that the lobes, approximated to a 80 kilometers diameter sphere, revolve around the center of mass in ~16.5 hours.
		One observed stellar occultation by Antiope has been reported, on ( June 11, 1980).

		When Ceres was found orbiting between Mars and Jupiter in 1801, it was initially touted as a planet, but after many smaller objects were found with a similar orbit, it was classified as an asteroid.
		The planet, a gas giant slightly larger than Jupiter, orbits the main star of the HD 188753 system, in the constellation Cygnus, and is hence known as HD 188753 Ab.
		There is also a class of hot Jupiters that orbit so close to their star that their atmospheres are slowly blown away in a comet-like tail: the Chthonian planets.
