6 Hebe - Moon

Moon

On March 5, 1977 Hebe occulted Kaffaljidhma (γ Ceti), a moderately bright 3rd magnitude star. No other observed occultations by Hebe have been reported.

As a result of that occultation, a small Hebean moon was reported by Paul D. Maley. It was nicknamed "Jebe" (see Heebie Jeebies). However, the discovery has not been confirmed.

Famous quotes containing the word moon:

    Serene stands the little captain,
    He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,
    His eyes give more light to us than our battle-lanterns.

    Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    It takes the moon for this. The sun’s a wizard
    By all I tell; but so’s the moon a witch.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    The Moon for all her light and grace
    Has never learned to know her place.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
