Minor planets named for truly remarkable people.
Amanda Lane-Cline mentored a finalist in the 2005 Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge (DCYSC), a middle school science competition. He pioneered the creation of color images from Digitized Sky Survey data, and has produced a series of Hubble Telescope's most iconic images. He is also author of the Reference Catalogue of Galactic Novae.
Named in honor of Valentina Nikolaevna Moskvina, a doctor at the Bakhchisaraj regional hospital in the Crimea. He has also discovered three supernova outbursts and 39 variable stars. Formigine is the birthplace of the wife of Ermes Colombini, a codiscoverer of this minor planet, and since 1986 it has also been their new residence.
Veronica Duys mentored a finalist in the 2007 Discovery Channel Young Scientist Challenge (DCYSC), a middle school science competition. He received a grant from the king to become a pupil of Schadow. Among his writings are The Interpretations of Dreams (1900) and Moses and Monotheism (1939), the latter an elucidation of a historical-cultural problem that had always fascinated him.
Sigeki Horiuchi (b. 1949) is a factory manager in the town of Shimosuwa, Nagano prefecture. The telescope has been used extensively in the university's observational programs, including astrometric work on comets and minor planets. He also determined the galactic orbit of the sun and the first more-or-less reliable determination of the velocity of the Galaxy relative to its neighbors.
Anna Kolény took part in the birth of Slovak sovereignty in the nineteenth century. Since 1981 he has been this group's representative to the American Association of Variable Star Observers. The citation was prepared by U. Schwarz.
