Daphne

Get the Flash Player to see this player.


The minor planet (41) Daphne was at opposition (closest to Earth) on 10th April. Here are 33 images taken using an Atik 16IC-S every 10s as it moves slowly across the sky. There is a faint galaxy almost directly beneath the asteroid.

It was discovered by H. Goldschmidt on May 22, 1856 and named after Daphne, the nymph in Greek mythology who was turned into a laurel tree. It has an average diameter of 174km and has at least one satellite.

Daphne is a large Main belt asteroid. This dark-surfaced body is likely composed of primitive carbonaceous chondrites. It was discovered by H. Goldschmidt on May 22, 1856 and named after Daphne, the nymph in Greek mythology who was turned into a laurel tree. Daphne has been observed to occult stars three times (all in the 1990s). Daphnean lightcurves suggest that the asteroid is irregular in shape. Daphne has at least one satellite, temporarily named S/ 2008.
