1184 Gaea and carbonaceous (0.057) asteroids, both found abundantly in this region of the asteroid belt – and consequently calculates a much larger diameter of 26.52 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 11.0. This minor planet was named after Gaia (or Gaea), the goddess of Earth in Greek mythology. Her son "and" husband was Uranus, the god of the sky. Uranus and Gaia were the parents of the first generation of Titans (six males and six females), and the ancestors of most of the Greek gods. The asteroid's name was proposed by German ARI-astronomer Gustav Stracke after whom the asteroid 1019
Atmosphere of Uranus internal heat source was required to explain observed temperatures. No discrete features had been observed on Uranus prior to the "Voyager 2" visit in 1986. In January 1986, the "Voyager 2" spacecraft flew by Uranus at a minimal distance of 107,100 km providing the first close-up images and spectra of its atmosphere. They generally confirmed that the atmosphere was made of mainly hydrogen and helium with around 2% methane. The atmosphere appeared highly transparent and lacking thick stratospheric and tropospheric hazes. Only a limited number of discrete clouds were observed. In the 1990s and 2000s, observations by the Hubble Space
