... October 14, 1999 . Moon Over Eugenia . ... CFHT . Explanation: Eugenia is an asteroid with a moon ! ... Main belt asteroid Eugenia, represented here as a central white patch, is a mere 215 kilometers in diameter. Its moon, seen at 5 separate positions around a clockwise orbit, is estimated to be 13 kilometers wide. ... Combining mass and size determines the asteroid's density, which in this case gives a surprising result - Eugenia is found to have a density only 20% greater than water. ...

... Bad Astronomy . ... Bitesize Astronomy . ... If you thought our tour of the solar system ended with Neptune and Pluto, you are setting your sights way too low. The planets of the solar system mark time relatively close to the Sun compared to interstellar space. Pluto orbits the Sun at an average distance 40 times that of the Earth, yet the nearest star (the Alpha Centauri system) to the solar system is a mind-numbing 260,000 times the distance of the Earth to the Sun. ... 2008 Phil Plait. ...

Next: The Evolutionary Status of Up: No Title Previous: Massive X-ray Binaries . After 25 years of pulsar studies, a radiopulsar has been discovered in a binary system with a massive optical companion (Johnston et al. ... As shown in the very first calculations of joint evolution of NS and normal stars in binaries (Kornilov and Lipunov, 1983b[ 86 ]) a considerable fraction (maybe, the majority) of NS in binary systems having an optical companion must be at the ejector љ (E) state. ...
