163 Erigone
163 Erigone is a dark-coloured, fairly big Main belt asteroid, the namesake of the Erigone family of asteroids. It was discovered by J. Perrotin on April 26, 1876 and named after one of the two Erigones in Greek mythology.
On March 20, 2014, Erigone is expected to occult the first-magnitude star Regulus.[1] This event will be visible along a path about 40 miles wide from New York City to Oswego in the United States, and extending approximately NE into Canada on a track that includes Belleville and North Bay, Ontario.[2]
