although apollo was the first apollo asteroid to be discovered, its official iau-number (1862) is higher than that of some other apollo asteroids such as 1566 icarus, due to the fact that it was a lost asteroid for more than 40 years and other bodies were numbered in the meantime. the analysis of its rotation provided observational evidence of the yorp effect.





























it is named after the greek god apollo. he is the god of the sun, child of zeus and leto, after which the minor planets 5731 zeus and 68 leto are named.

cologne had already started organizing carnaval by an association in 1823, followed in 1835 by düsseldorf and mainz in 1838. in limburg the carnaval organized by an association was as common as in the german rhineland. momus was probably the first carnaval association in the netherlands and was founded in 1839 in maastricht, followed by jocus in the city of venlo in 1842. momus name derives from the greek god momus. according to the "düsseldorfer narrenkalender" from 1841 "carnaval the great has three sons: momus, comus and jocus". momus is the greek god of mockery and criticism. when in venlo a sorority founded the carnaval association, they could thus choose between comus (greek god of festivity, anarchy and chaos) and jocus (roman god of wit and raillery). momus is not the oldest existing carnaval association because it had faded out before the second world war in 1939. after the war the carnaval in maastricht was organized by the tempeleers. the currently oldest carnaval association is jocus.
