During the radar observations, a small satellite was detected, although its existence was not reported until December 2007. As a result, little is known about the moon.Larger near-Earth asteroids include: 1036 Ganymed (32 km), 3552 Don Quixote (19 km), 433 Eros (17 km), and 4954 Eric (10.8 km)."@en }
