66391 Moshup

The moon, named Squannit /ˈskwɒnɪt/ and designated S/2001 (66391) 1, is approximately 360 metres in diameter, and orbits its primary every 16 hours at a mean distance of 2.6 kilometers.

[4] The observations were taken from May 21–23, 2001, by Lance A. M. Benner, Steven J. Ostro, Jon D. Giorgini, Raymond F. Jurgens, Jean-Luc Margot and Michael C.

[4] The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link adopts a diameter of 1.3 kilometers and derives an albedo 0.26 with an absolute magnitude of 16.5.

[11] With a dimension of approximately 1.42 × 1.36 × 1.18 kilometers for a simple triaxial ellipsoid, the asteroid has an oblate shape, which is dominated by an equatorial ridge at the body's potential-energy minimum.

This bizarre property of the equatorial region means that it is close to breakup: raising a particle a meter above the surface would put it into orbit.

During 19–27 June 2000, a rotational lightcurve of this asteroid was obtained from photometric observations by Petr Pravec and Lenka Šarounová at Ondřejov Observatory.
