Asteroid Moon Eugenia I Petit-Prince - Little Prince Mural - Zagreb, Croatia - Extraterrestrial Locations on Waymarking.com

Eugenia I Petit-Prince is the larger, outer moon of asteroid 45 Eugenia. It was discovered in 1998 by astronomers at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. Initially, it received the provisional designation S/1998 (45) 1. Petit-Prince was the first asteroid moon to be discovered with a ground-based telescope. The discoverers chose the name in honour of Empress Eugenie's son, the Prince Imperial. However, they also intended an allusion to the children's book The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery, which is about a prince who lives on an asteroid.
