1064 Aethusa, provisional designation 1926 PA, is a main-belt asteroid, discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg Observatory on 2 August 1926. It is orbiting the Sun in a distance of 2.09−2.99 AU, measures about 19 kilometers in diameter, and has a high geometric albedo of 0.32.〔 Measurements made with the IRAS observatory give a diameter of 20.64 ± 1.37 km and a geometric albedo of 0.27 ± 0.03. By comparison, the MIPS photometer on the Spitzer Space Telescope gives a diameter of 8.621 ± 4.28 km and a geometric albedo of 0.17 ± 0.04.〔 Other photometric observations of the asteroid collected during 2006 show a rotation period of 8.621 ± 0.004 hours with a brightness variation of 0.18 ± 0.02 magnitude.〔 The asteroid is named after a genus in the carrot family, "Aethusa", of which the plant ''Aethusa cynapium'' (fool's parsley) is the only member.〔 == See also == * 1054 Forsytia * List of asteroids/1001–2000 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1064 Aethusa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
