Discoverer A. Graham, 1848

9 Metis is one of the largest Main belt asteroids. It is composed of silicates and metallic nickel-iron.

It was discovered by A. Graham on April 25, 1848 and it was his only asteroid discovery.

Lightcurve data on Metis led to assumption that it could have a satellite. However, subsequent observations failed to confirm this. [1] [1]

Metis was observed with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1993. It was able to resolve the irregular shape of the asteroid, but no satellites were detected. [1]

Metis has been observed occulting a star no less than 5 times.

Metis is also the name of a satellite of Jupiter.
