96 Aegle (/ˈiːɡliː/ EE-glee) is a very large main-belt asteroid. It has a dark-colored surface and probably a primitive carbonaceous composition. It was discovered by Jérôme Coggia on February 17, 1868, and named after one of the three Aegles in Greek mythology.[5] Aegle has been observed occulting seven stars (on 18 Feb 2002, 10 Aug 2002, 3 Aug 2003, 8 Sep 2009, 5 Jan 2010, 29 Oct 2010, and 7 Sep 2013).[6]
