ARECIBO, P.R. -- An asteroid that has eluded astronomers for decades turns out to be an unusual pair of objects traveling together in space, a planetary scientist using the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Arecibo Observatory radio telescope and his colleagues report. The asteroid Hermes was re-discovered last week after being lost for 66 years.

The two objects together would cover an area approximately the size of Disneyland. (October 23, 2003)
