	45 Eugenia & Pettit Prince
		The presence of a moon allows scientists to determine the mass of an asteroid because of the effect of the primary asteroid's gravity on its small moon.
		Eugenia orbits the sun in the main asteroid belt, a collection of thousands of asteroids that exists between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
		Asteroids are thought to be bodies that never formed a planet; the gravity of the giant planet Jupiter may have stirred up the bodies enough that they collided with each other at fast speeds, perhaps either fragmenting or forming satellites, rather than colliding gently, adhering, and gradually building up a planet.

	Petit Prince
		Petit-Prince was named in 2003 after Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's character The Little Prince, who was in turn based on the Prince Imperial, son of Empress Eugenia.
		The name is especially apt since The Little Prince in the novel lives on an asteroid.
		It was the first asteroidal moon to be discovered by a ground-based telescope.

	Asteroid Portfolio Gets A Boost With New Optics
		Each asteroid in the pair is the size of a large city (about 50 miles across), separated by about 100 miles, mutually orbiting the vacant point of interplanetary space that lies midway between them.
		The asteroid pair was once assumed to be a single body, called Antiope, orbiting the sun in the outer parts of the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
		But an asteroidal satellite, or twin, is a body whose trajectory is so mightily deflected by the asteroid's gravity that it is actually forced to orbit around it.

	Asteroids K-12 Experiments for Lesson Plans & Science Fair Projects
		Most asteroids are believed to be remnants of the protoplanetary disc which were not incorporated into planets during the system's formation due to excessive gravitational perturbations by Jupiter.
		As of November 16, 2005, from a total of 305,224 minor planets with calculated orbits, 120,437 asteroids had been calculated well enough to be given official numbers and 12,712 of these had been officially given trivial names to go along with the numbers (at least 610 of which have names requiring diacritics).
		It has been suggested that asteroids might be used in the future as a source of materials which may be rare or exhausted on earth (asteroid mining).

	Asteroid
		The term asteroid is generally used to indicate a diverse group of small celestial bodies that drift in the solar system in orbit around the Sun.
		It is thought that these asteroids are remnants of the protoplanetary disc, and in this region the incorporation of protoplanetary remnants into the planets was prevented by large gravitational perturbations induced by Jupiter during the formative period of the solar system.
		Asteroids are commonly classified into groups based on the characteristics of their orbits and on the details of the spectrum of sunlight they reflect.

	Asteroids in fiction
		Thus, the asteroid's eventual fall into the Atlantic and its disappearance beneath the waves is presented as a satisfactory aversion of the economic danger, and there are none of the huge and highly destructive tsunami which in later stories (and in reality) would have followed.
		Moreover, depictions of the Asteroid Belt as The New Frontier clearly draw (sometimes explicitly) on the considerable literature of the Nineteenth-Century Frontier and the Wild West.
		And since (in nearly all stories) the asteroids are completely lifeless until the arrival of the humans, it is a New Frontier completely free of the moral taint of the brutal dispossession of the Native Americans in the original.

	Asteroid moon - Definition, explanation
		Asteroids with moons are commonly referred to as binary asteroids.
		The term double asteroid is sometimes used for systems in which the asteroid and its moon are roughly the same size.
		An example of a double asteroid is 90 Antiope, where two equal-sized components orbit the common centre of gravity.

		4.0 Background on Empress Eugenia and Her Son the Prince Imperial The primary asteroid, (45) Eugenia is the first asteroid to be named after a human, namely the Empress Eugenie of France, wife of Napoleon Bonaparte III (ruler of France from 1848-1870, and nephew of Napoleon I).
		At age 23, in search of adventure, the little prince (he was of small stature and quite thin) enlisted with Chelmsford's army and set off to fight in 1879 with the British in Africa against the Zulus in the battle of Ulundi (the Zulu capital in South Africa).
		The "Little Prince", of small stature and thin, was killed by Zulus in South Africa, while on a scouting mission for the British army in 1879.

	Antoine de Saint-Exepury, Le Petit Prince
		Le Petit Prince is a wonderful story of a pilot and the prince he meets in the middle of a desert.
		prince also tells the pilot about his asteroid, and what he does to take care of it, and how sometimes when he is sad he watches the sunset and then watches it again for as many times as he needs to cheer up.
		Le Petit Prince has much to say on things of true importance -- on friendship and on meaning, on love and on farewells, and the importance of "roses." There is magic in this book.

		In a discovery that rocks what we know about asteroids, sort of, two hunks of stone and iron known collectively as 90 Antiope are spied against a fl backdrop, circling each other every 16.5 hours while simultaneously zooming around the Sun in the outer reaches of the main Asteroid Belt, between Mars and Jupiter.
		And having found four asteroid pairings already, at the dawn of our ability to actually see into the Asteroid Belt with such clarity, has researchers expecting there may be a lot of asteroidal commingling going on out there.
		The asteroid pair 90 Antiope, on the other hand, was imaged using the Keck Observatory atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

		Asteroid 2004 MN4 is a "regional" hazard -- big enough to flatten Texas with an impact equivalent to as much as 1,600 megatons of dynamite (the largest manmade nuclear explosion had a yield of 50 megatons).
		Examining asteroid samples is expected to help unlock secrets of how celestial bodies were formed because their surfaces are believed to have remained relatively unchanged over the ages, unlike those of larger bodies such the planets or moons.
		Because asteroids and comets are remnants of the turbulent period in which the planets were formed, they are in fact similar to time capsules and carry a pristine record of those early days.

	Le petit prince (The Little Prince) Criticism and Essays
		During his travels, the prince discovers the true nature of his relationship with his rose: that it is his responsibility to the rose, rather than any intrinsic property of beauty or goodness, that makes her special to him.
		In order to return to his asteroid to be reunited with her, he allows himself to be bitten by a serpent, which will kill his body but free his spirit.
		In emphasizing the responsibility of the individual for the well-being of others, for example, Saint-Exupéry created a compelling argument for many of the altruistic activities in which he was involved, while the prince's experiences on other planets are widely viewed as an indictment of the types of behavior that cause society to require such remedies.

		It's also possible that some loose-rubble asteroids passed close enough to a planet at some point for gravity to pull them apart and create natural satellites (the proper name for a moon).
		Observing a moon orbiting an asteroid enables scientists to calculate the asteroid's mass and density.
