Angelina (minor planet 64)
The second largest known E-class asteroid,
after Nysa (see Nysa-Polana family),
and one with an unusually high albedo. Angleina
was discovered by E. Wilhelm Tempel in 1861.
Whereas most E-class asteroids dominate the Hungaria
group region of the main asteroid belt, Angelina is one of the few that
orbit much further out.
