52 Europa, diameter 289 km, was discovered on February 4, 1858 by H. Goldschmidt. It is named after Europa, one of Zeus's conquests in Greek mythology.
Europa may be the seventh largest known asteroid (it cannot currently be ranked relative to 3 Juno) and is very dark in color. It belongs to the Hygiea asteroid family.
It should not be confused with Jupiter's moon Europa.
