		Because 87 Sylvia was named after Rhea Sylvia, the mythical mother of the founders of Rome, Marchis proposed naming the twin moons after those founders: Romulus and Remus.
		Four years ago, Sylvia was discovered to have a moon, making it one of some 60 known binary asteroids in various asteroid populations of the solar system.
		From two months' of observations of the moonlets' orbits, Marchis and his Paris colleagues were able to precisely calculate the mass and density of Sylvia, which shows it to be a "rubble-pile" asteroid, Marchis said.

		Sylvia is one of the largest bodies in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
		Marchis and colleagues from the Paris Observatory spent two months observing the moonlets' orbits and were able to measure Sylvia's mass and density, showing it to be a loosely formed "rubble-pile" asteroid, probably formed from the fragments left by a collision between two other asteroids, with the moonlets possibly debris left from the collision.

		While Salvia farinacea 'Rhea' is not quite the equal of the startlingly luminescent blue 'Victoria Blue' Mealy-cup, 'Rhea' is nevertheless a very close second-best, with tall spikes of soft deepest blue flowers, to two feet tall or taller.
		It is named for the Earthmother Rhea (Cybele), for what reason I've no idea, except that herbs in general were sacred to Rhea.
		Or perhaps someone thought Salvia 'Rhea' made a nice pun on Rhea Sylvia, the mother of Romulus & Remus.
