106 Dione is a large main-belt asteroid. It probably has a composition similar to 1 Ceres. It was discovered by J. C. Watson on October 10, 1868, and named after Dione, a Titaness in Greek mythology who was sometimes said to have been the mother of Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and beauty. Dione occulted a dim star on January 19, 1983. A diameter of 147 km was observed, closely matching the value acquired by the IRAS satellite. One of Saturn's satellites is also named Dione. ast:106 Dione bg:106 de:(106) Dione el:106 es:(106) Dione eo:106 Diono eu:106 Dione fa: fr:(106) Dion it:106 Dione la:106 Dione hu:106 Dione mk:106 Dione ja: ( ) no:106 Dione nn:106 Dione pl:106 Dione ru:(106) sk:106 Dione sl:106 Diona sr:106 fi:106 Dione sv:106 Dione tl:106 Dione th:106 uk:106 vi:106 Dione yo:106 Dione zh:
