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:
“The Lord is thy keeper; the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.
The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil; he shall preserve thy
soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
—Bible: Hebrew Psalm CXXI (l. CXXI, 5–8)
“Seen from the moon we are all the same size.”
—Multatuli [Eduard Douwer Dekker] (1820–1887)
“But oh! that deep romantic chasm which slanted
Down the green hill athwart a cedarn cover!
A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e’er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!”
—Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
