Which minor planet was named after Pandora from Greek mythology?

Minor planet 55 Pandora was named after Pandora from Greek mythology.

55 Pandora is an asteroid in the main asteroid belt, the region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. German-American astronomer Christian Peters discovered it on September 10, 1858, at the Litchfield Observatory in New York. Its mythological name refers to Pandora, the woman created by the gods in Hesiod’s story.

The number 55 is the asteroid’s permanent minor-planet designation, assigned according to its discovery sequence. It is not the object’s size, date, or ranking. Astronomical names often draw on mythology, but an asteroid’s name does not imply that its physical characteristics resemble the mythological figure.

55 Pandora is sometimes confused with 2 Pallas, 4 Vesta, or 16 Psyche, all prominent named asteroids. Those bodies have different discovery histories and mythological names. Pandora also gives its name to the asteroid family associated with 55 Pandora.
