562 Salome is a minor planet orbiting the Sun that was discovered by German astronomer Max Wolf on April 3, 1905 from Heidelberg. It is named after Salome, the daughter of Herodias who is referenced in the New Testament.
This is a member of the dynamic Eos family of asteroids that most likely formed as the result of a collisional breakup of a parent body.[2]
