Title: Double Asteroid, 90 Antiope

Caption: Artist's impression of the double asteroid Antiope. Both components are shown to have a quasi-spherical shape. 90 Antiope is in the outer asteroid belt. In 2000, it was found to consist of two almost-equally-sized bodies orbiting each other. At average diameters of about 88 km and 84 km, both components are among the 500 largest asteroids. Since the discovery of Antiope's binary nature, the name Antiope technically refers to the slightly larger of the two components, with the smaller component bearing the provisional designation S/2000 (90) 1. Release date March 29, 2007.
