Short 3: Another triple asteroid system

Way, way, waaaay back when I started my underutilized blog, I wrote about the discovery of a triple asteroid system (Kleopatra + moons) in Define Unusual.

Well, they may not be common, but another one's been found on the radar (Goldstone's radar):

Triple asteroid system triples observer's interest

This one doesn't have a very romantic name -- it's just called 1994 CC.

(Lots more to write about if I find the time in the days to come. Darned England getting stomped in the fourth Ashes test by the Aussies. No drama there at all.)
