Just thought I'd pass this on. It's an interesting development in the story
about the rediscovery of Hermes by "our" Brian Skiff.

Flagstaff - Oct 23, 2003 - The re-discovery of Hermes started early on
October 15th by Brian Skiff of the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth-Object
Search (LONEOS). Not seen since 1937, asteroid 1937 UB (Hermes) continues to
astonish and excite astronomers worldwide. Further observations revealed
late yesterday that Hermes is actually two objects--called a
binary--circling around one another while about to pass by Earth again.
