643 Scheherezade is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was named after the fictional storyteller Sheherazad.
Oceana is an asteroid from the asteroid belt. It was discovered by Austrian astronomer Johann Palisa on 30 March 1882, in Vienna. It was named after the Pacific Ocean. Based upon its spectrum, it is classified as an M-type asteroid, but is not metallic.
Prymno is a somewhat large Main belt asteroid. It is classified as a B-type asteroid and probably has a primitive composition not unlike common C-type carbonaceous asteroids.
Rosalia is a large Main belt asteroid. It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 1 September 1891 in Nice.
Ducrosa is a typical Main belt asteroid. It was discovered by Auguste Charlois on 15 March 1895 in Nice.
Caprera is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
Cremona is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
Virtus is an 86 km minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered by Max Wolf on October 7, 1902. Its provisional name was 1902 JV.
Marion is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was discovered by Raymond Smith Dugan in February 1903, and was later named after a cousin of his. It is designated as a C-type asteroid with a size of approximately 104 kilometres (64.6 mi).
Laodica is a minor planet orbiting the Sun.
Brixia is a relatively large minor planet, specifically an asteroid orbiting mostly in the asteroid belt that was discovered by American astronomer Raymond Smith Dugan on January 10, 1904. The name derives from Brixia, the ancient name of the Italian city of Brescia.
Thekla is a minor planet orbiting the Sun. It was named after Saint Thecla of the first century. The name may have been inspired by the asteroid's provisional designation 1906 TC.
