Asteroid 185 Eunike
Discovered on March 1, 1878 by Christian Heinrich Friedrich Peter.
Eunike has a diameter of 158 km. It possesses a dark carbon-containing
surface with an albedo of 0,064. In approximately 10 hours and 50
minutes it rotates around the own axle. Eunike moves between 2,3889
(perihel) astronomical units to 3.0877 astronomical units (aphelion) in
4.531 years around the sun.
