(1862) Apollo, rhetoric

(1862) Apollo is an apollo asteroid discovered in April of 1932. It has a perihelion of 0.6 AU and an aphelion of 2.3 AU (orbit between Mercury-Venus and main asteroid belt). A satellite was discovered in November of 2005.  It has a diameter of about 1.6 km + 0.08 km. There is a prediscovery image back to December of 1930.


(1862) Apollo has an impressive ability for rhetoric, like in the movies of the Twilight Saga: "New Moon" (2009) and "Eclipse" (2010), were the romantic speech is emphasized.
