Eger is asteroid #3103, also known as 1982 BB, of the type E, a Mars-orbit-crosser, and in the group of Apollo. Eger’s orbit exhibits an eccentricity of 0.3545 and an inclination of 20.931° with respect to the ecliptic. Eger was discovered by the Hungarian astronomer Miklós Lovas at the Piszkéstető mountain station, which is part of the Konkoly Obszervatórium in Budapest, Hungary. Miklós Lovas was born in 1931 and died in 2019 and discovered two asteroids, that are both named. One is #3103 or Eger and the other is #3579 or Rockholt.

The asteroid #3103 is named after the Hungarian city Eger, which is located northwest of the capital and is the second-largest city of northern Hungary. Eger belongs also to the oldest cities of Hungary. A settlement was at that location already in stone-age. Eger is mainly known for wine and water-sports.

Besides being a place name asteroid, which can show connections into Hungary, Eger is probably of no astrological relevance. I never checked where Eger is found in any astrological chart. I include Eger here because of its special relevance for astronomical research. The spectral type E is as special as Vesta’s spectral type V. Eger and Vesta are the only asteroids, that are known to be the parent bodies of certain types of meteoroids! Vesta is the parent body of Howardites, Eucrites, and Diogenites. These three types of meteoroids are summed up as the HED-meteoroids. Eger is the parent body of the Aubrites. These are also called enstatite achondrites after the composition of their material. Should the material composition of celestial bodies ever be found to be relevant, then it will be time to re-check on Eger.
