What scientists named asteroids or planets

The names of people are mainly asteroids and comets. But the numbers are so huge, and new names are being added almost every day, so it's impossible to count the exact number.

An asteroid named after a scientist.

Others include Haile Pope, Iketani Chang, and West.

That's it.

The first asteroid in history to bear a name was discovered in Sicily in 1801 by Piazzi, an Italian Catholic thiettian monk, mathematician and astronomer. The asteroid was named "Ceres". Ceres is the god in Roman mythology who rules plants.

Piazzi originally proposed to name Ferdinand III in his honor, but the name was abandoned because it was unacceptable to people from other countries.

In early asteroid naming, asteroids were named after characters from Greek or Roman mythology. For example, the second asteroid "Homo sapiens", the third asteroid "Marriage", the fourth asteroid "Vesta", etc. These asteroids are also given symbols separately, just as the sun and planets are given symbols.

Later, as asteroids were discovered more and more, the naming began to be arbitrary. Some people directly name the asteroid after their pet. Before 1971, this did not cause much controversy.

But when an asteroid discoverer named asteroid 2309 "Mr."

spock" (which was the name of one of his pet cats), and the International Astronomical Union had to introduce rules discouraged the use of animal names to name asteroids. However, all sorts of quirky names, such as "James Bond" and "Zero", were later used by the discoverers to name asteroids. Asteroid.

1.Temporary name.

After the discovery of an asteroid candidate, there is a temporary name, which is indicated by the year of discovery plus a space plus a letter and a letter.

The first letter indicates that the asteroid candidate was discovered in the first half of the year. The 12 months of the year are divided into 24 and a half months, with the first half month of January represented by the letter A, the second half month represented by B, and so on.

2.Permanent official numbering.

Based on multiple observations, including the first observation, the orbit of the asteroid candidate can be estimated and the next occurrence can be predicted with precision to confirm whether it is an asteroid. If confirmed, it indicates that it has been formally identified from the candidate and has also succeeded in obtaining an official permanent number. For example, the number of this asteroid candidate is 291633, which refers to the 291633 confirmed asteroid.

3.The discoverer Hongyun can give the asteroid another name.

The naming isn't over yet. The discoverer of the asteroid has the opportunity to rename it, but the proposed name must refer to the asteroid naming standards set by the International Federation of Astronomical Societies, and the argument needs to be approved by the International Federation of Astronomical Societies. For example, the third name of this missing asteroid is "He Yun".

Scatter flowers to celebrate, and thank Mr. He Yun for his contribution to the popularization of astronomical science.

01 A new asteroid has been discovered; Asteroids receive a "tentative number" consisting of year, letters, and numbers; If the asteroid can be observed at least twice, the orbit can be accurately determined; After the orbit was determined with sufficient precision, the asteroid received an official numerical number, and the discoverer requested a name; The nomenclature application was officially used by the International Astronomical Union.

Of all the celestial bodies, only an asteroid can be named at the suggestion of its discoverer and ultimately recognized by the world. The naming process of asteroids is like the naming process of our ants giving names to their newborn kittens (see the table below).

For example, the Purple Mountain Observatory discovered an asteroid in 1955, first notified to the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union, and received the provisional designation 1955DA, and then after 20 years of efforts, it observed two other returns in 1965 and 1975, and also received the provisional designation 1965YN and 1975SD respectively. When its orbit was accurately measured, it received an official designation: 2197. The Purple Mountain Observatory submitted a naming application and a description to the International Astronomical Union's Committee on the Nomenclature of Small Objects to request that it be named "Shanghai".

The committee is made up of 15 astronomers from all over the world, and the name application must be unanimously approved by their unanimous vote. After the naming application was approved, it was published in the "Minor Planet Bulletin" issued monthly by the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union, so that the name of the asteroid 2197 "Shanghai" star was officially confirmed by the world. The first asteroid named by the Chinese according to this procedure was the "Zhonghua" star discovered by astronomer Zhang Yuzhe in 1928, numbered 1125.

Introduction: China's science and technology continue to develop, keep pace with the times, and its comprehensive national strength continues to improve, China's space missions have also been completed very well, and asteroids have been discovered in the process of exploring the unknown universe, which is the result of the tenacious struggle of Chinese scientists. In the constant knowledge of the unknown and mysterious universe.

1. Zhang diffuses the planet.

In July this year, voted by the ** selection committee and the observatory, and deliberated by the International Asteroid Nomenclature Committee under the International Astronomy, the official naming of the planet Zhang diffuse was approved, and it is estimated that the orbital period of the planet Zhang diffuse is about 6 earth years at opposition on July 30, 2021, and it is more than 300 million kilometers away from the earth. The 85-year-old academician Zhang Miman has long been engaged in the study of comparative morphology, paleoichthyology, late Mesozoic and Cenozoic stratigraphy, paleogeography and biological evolution. <>

Second, Zhang diffuse.

Academician Zhang Miman, who won the world's first scientific award in 2018, is said to be a truly outstanding talent, an icon, whose pioneering work provides fossil evidence for the evolution of aquatic vertebrates to land. The times changed her concept and changed her fate. Originally from Zhejiang, he was born in Nanjing in April 1936 and later moved to Jiangxi with his parents.

Since her father worked in medical school when she was a child, she often had to walk through the dissection room to her father's office to call him home for dinner. <>

3. Planetary discovery.

In the last century, China is realizing the goal of industrialization, the country called on young students to actively participate in geological exploration, explore resource discovery, and aspire to serve the motherlandZhang Miman chose another life path, applied for the Beijing Institute of Geology, to help the motherland find mineral resources, get rid of energy imports. Before that, she knew nothing about this science. But in the following decades, Zhang Miman devoted himself to this mysterious and boring discipline for ordinary people, and it has been the same for decades.

Qian Weichang Star, this star is to commemorate Mr. Qian Weichang, so it will be named after a scientist, which has a different meaning.

Qian Wei Changxing, this planet is a memory of one of our scientists, who made a lot of contributions, and is now deceased.

This star is called Ye Peijian, and the naming rights of the asteroid are only 10 years, so the discoverer must complete the naming and application within 10 years.

1.According to international regulations, after calculating the orbit of a newly discovered asteroid, it must be observed at least twice at the closest position to the earth before it can be numbered and named. 2.

The first asteroid to be discovered, Ceres, was numbered No. 1, Homo sapiens was numbered No. 2, and the other asteroids were also numbered according to the order in which they were discovered.
