Category:Discoverers of minor planets
Appearance
For each numbered minor planet, the Minor Planet Center (MPC) lists one or more discoverers who have been given credit for the discovery. Sometimes these are individuals (by modern rules there can be no more than three co-discoverers), and sometimes the credit is given to an organization (for instance, Purple Mountain Observatory). Also see List of minor planets and MPC's alphabetically and by number sorted discoverer lists.
