Asteroid 659, Nestor, was discovered March 23, 1908 by Maximilian Wolf at Hamburg, Germany. It has a period of 11 years, 300 days and is about 81 miles in diameter.
It was named for Nestor, king of Pylos, who in his old age served as a counselor to the Greeks during the Trojan War.
Roy Kirkland has proposed the following keywords for Nestor: sound but ineffective advice, form over content, convincing speaker, sweet talker, things not turning out as they should, counsel good in theory, frustrated plans, frustrated by fate . I have proposed the following: the desire (or lack of one) to make a home, have a family, or settle down.
