The answer is yes, and whoever is giving the Thumbs-downs won't change that, no matter how angry or distraught it makes them.

Look at the example on the 4th photo & paragraph down this page.
The asteroid Ida has a satellite Dactyl.
" Ida's moon also has a deeper near-infrared absorption and a different color in the violet than ...." - so; it has a moon.
It has nothing to do with magnetic poles, just gravity.

Four answers and all utterly wrong.
Some asteroids do indeed have their own satellites. In 1993 asteroid Ida was imaged by the Galileo probes and seen to have its own companion asteroid, named Dactyl. Since then several more have been discovered or implied.

Yes! Some very large asteroids can have their own satelittes. I believe that there are a few in the asteroid belt.

No I don't think so. Beause satellites are situated towards the celestial body beacause gravitaion acts towards it. I don't think it's the same with asteroids.

I wouldnt have thought so even if they are in orbit - but could be wrong
I once sat on a light and had hemmeroids ? does that count
