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 moon shines bright. In such a night as this,
When the sweet wind did gently kiss the trees,
And they did make no noise, in such a night
Troilus methinks mounted the Troyan walls,
And sighed his soul toward the Grecian tents,
Where Cressid lay that night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“As the moon waxes, then wanes, so at middle age do people decline.”
—Chinese proverb.
