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.

    When in some river, overhung with green,
    The waving moon and trembling leaves are seen;
