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:

    Would you hear of an old-time sea-fight?
    Would you learn who won by the light of the moon and stars?
    List to the yarn, as my grandmother’s father the sailor told it to
    me.
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    I got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.
    Irving Berlin (1888–1989)

    The quarrel of the sparrows in the eaves,
    The full round moon and the star-laden sky,
    And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves,
    Had hid away earth’s old and weary cry.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
