Asteroids in fiction
After Ceres, Asteroid 433 Eros is perhaps the most-commonly mentioned asteroid, probably because it is one of the largest near-Earth asteroids.
163693 Atira
With a diameter of 4.8 kilometers, "Atira" is one of the largest Near-Earth objects. Early estimates of its size ranged from 1 to 2 kilometers, but those were based on an assumed higher albedo of 0.20. Its larger size and low albedo were discovered when "Atira" was imaged by radar in early 2017. These radar images also revealed that "Atira" is a binary asteroid.
