11 Parthenope
11 Parthenope ( ) is a large, bright main-belt asteroid. Parthenope was discovered by Annibale de Gasparis on 11 May 1850, the second of his nine asteroid discoveries. It was named after ''Parthenopē'', one of the Sirens in Greek mythology, said to have founded the city of Naples. De Gasparis "used his utmost endeavours to realise a 'Parthenope' in the heavens, such being the name suggested by Sir John Herschel on the occasion of the discovery of '' Hygiea'' in 1849". Two symbols were proposed for Parthenope: a fish and a star (in the pipeline for Unicode 17.0 as U+1CEC4 ) while such symbols were still in use, and later a lyre (in the pipeline for Unicode 17.0 as U+1F77A ) in lists of symbols. Both are obsolete. There have been two observed Parthenopian occultations, on 13 February 1987, and 28 April 2006. On 6 August 2008, during a perihelic opposition, Parthenope had an apparent magnitude of 8.8. In 1988 a search for satellites or dust orbiting this asteroid ...
