Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 2006
A review of observations and theories regarding binary asteroids and binary trans-Neptunian objects [collectively, binary minor planets (BMPs)] is presented. To date, these objects have been discovered using a combination of direct imaging, lightcurve analysis, and radar.

Vesta, the third-largest known asteroid in our solar system, is the only asteroid that can be seen with the naked eye. Vesta is smaller than Ceres and Pallas, the first- and second-largest asteroids, respectively, but its reflective surface allows it to be seen occasionally, without the aid of a telescope, in the nighttime sky.

The Distant Minor Planets include the cis-Neptunian objects, and the trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs). The TNOs include Kuiper Belt Objects (KBOs), Scattered Disc Objects (SDOs), Detached Objects, and Oort Cloud Objects (OCOs).

The term ‘minor planet’ is an astronomical classification that encompasses minor planets and asteroids. However, to arrive at this classification, the understanding of where other bodies fit in is necessary. The International Astronomical Union defines a planet as a body in orbit around a star, which has the ability to pull its mass into a rounded ...
