57 Mnemosyne 57 Mnemosyne Mnemosyne ( ; minor planet designation: 57 Mnemosyne) is a large main belt asteroid. It is an S-type asteroid in composition.

Its name was chosen by Martin Hoek, director of the Utrecht Observatory, in reference to Mnemosyne, a Titaness in Greek mythology. The orbital period of this asteroid is close to a 2:1 commensurability with Jupiter, which made it useful for perturbation measurements to derive the mass of the planet. Photometry measurements made at the Oakley Observatory during 2006 produced a lightcurve with a rotation period
