DUDU
Dudu, asteroid 564 (the 564th asteroid to be discovered, on May 9, 1905), is approximately
50 kilometers in diameter and has an orbital period of 4.6 years. It was named
after a character in Nietzsche’s Thus Spake Zarathustra. The unusual name of this planetoid
(the connotations of which are obvious enough) led to its inclusion in The
Asteroid Ephemeris: Dudu, Dembowska, Pittsburgh, Frigga, Batya Stark and Mark Pottenger’s
tour de force of astrological humor.
