Fascinating book. Asteroids have moons!?

Fascinating book! The detail in this book is meticulous which is not surprising since the Author, Thomas Wm. Hamilton is an astronomer and was a professor of Astronomy for over 30 years. He also ran planetariums and as if that wasn't enough, he worked on the Apollo project. He was honored by the International Astronomical Union with an asteroid 4897 named for him now. Truly a credible resource and very fine writer, I follow his science fact and science fiction books, he has something like 10 or 12 in print right now.
