The trinary asteriod link is fixed.
This is an image of Ida and Dactyl (source NASA/JPL) as the images of (87) Sylvia and its moons are still under embargo. While many asteroids apear to have a companion, (87) Sylvia is the first to have two moons observed. The link to the story on (87) Sylvia and its two moons has been fixed. Sylvia, approx 300 Km across has two tiny moons 7 and 18 Km across. They have been named Romulus and Remus. An animation is available at the ESO site (WARNING 13 Meg file). Looks like another Celestia file to make.
