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.

I n our chapters on the Sun and Moon, on the Earth and Venus, and on Mercury and Mars, we have been usually discussing the features and the movements of globes of vast dimensions. The least of all these bodies is the moon, but even our moon is a ball 2,000 miles from one side to the other.

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).

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.
