'''130 Elektra''' is a very large outer [[main-belt]] [[asteroid]]. It was discovered by [[Christian Heinrich Friedrich Peters|C. H. F. Peters]] on February 17, 1873, and named after [[Electra]], an avenger in [[Greek mythology]].
 
Its spectrum is of the [[G-type asteroid|G type]], hence it probably has a [[1 Ceres|Ceres]]-like composition. Spectral signatures of [[organic compound]]s have been seen on Elektra's surface.<ref name=CruBro87>{{cite journal|title=Organic Matter on Asteroid 130 Elektra|journal=Science|pages=183|volume=238|year=1987|bibcode=1987Sci...238..183C|author=D.P. Cruikshank and R.H. Brown|doi=10.1126/science.238.4824.183|pmid=17800458|issue=4824}}</ref>
 
In the late 1990s, a network of astronomers worldwide gathered lightcurve data that was ultimately used to derive the spin states and shape models of 10 new asteroids, including (130) Elektra. The light curve of 130 Elektra forms a double sinusoid while the shape model is elongated and the derived rotation axis is perpendicular to the plane of the [[ecliptic]].<ref name="Durech2007"/><ref>Durech, J.; Kaasalainen, M.; Marciniak, A.; Allen, W. H. et al. “Asteroid brightness and geometry,” ''Astronomy and Astrophysics'', Volume 465, Issue 1, April I 2007, pp. 331-337.</ref>
 
Optical observations have found a satellite of this asteroid. Once the orbit is known, Elektra's mass can be reliably found. The value of 6.6{{e|18}} kg indicates a density of 1.3 ± 0.3 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. Optical observations have also determined that Elektra's shape is quite irregular, as well as giving indications of [[albedo]] differences of 5-15% on its surface.<ref name=MarKaaHom06/>

In 2003, a small [[natural satellite|moon]] of Elektra was detected using the [[Keck telescope|Keck II telescope]]. The diameter of the satellite is 4&nbsp;km and it [[orbit]]s at a distance of about 1170&nbsp;km. The satellite has been given the provisional designation '''S/2003 (130) 1'''. Due to only a few observations to date, its orbit is still relatively loosely constrained.<ref name=marchis>[http://astro.berkeley.edu/~fmarchis/Science/Asteroids/Elektra.html 130 Elektra and S/2003 (130) 1]'', orbit data website maintained by F.
