96 Aegle (/ˈiːɡliː/ EE-glee) is a very large main-belt asteroid. It has a dark-colored surface and probably a primitive carbonaceous composition. It was discovered by Jérôme Coggia on February 17, 1868, and named after one of the three Aegles in Greek mythology. Aegle has been observed occulting seven stars (on 18 Feb 2002, 10 Aug 2002, 3 Aug 2003, 8 Sep 2009, 5 Jan 2010, 29 Oct 2010, and 7 Sep 2013).
