The new sixth edition of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, which is the IAU?s official reference work for the field, now covers more than 17,000 named minor planets. In addition to being of practical value for identification purposes, the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names provides authoritative information on the basis of the rich and colorful variety of ingenious names, from heavenly goddesses to artists, from scientists to Nobel laureates, from historical or political figures to ordinary women and men, from mountains to buildings, as well as a variety of compound terms and curiosities. This sixth edition of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names has grown by more than 7,000 entries compared to the fifth edition and by more than 2,000 compared to the fifth edition, including its two addenda published in 2006 and 2009. In addition, there are many  corrections, revisions and updates to the entries published in earlier editions. This work is an abundant source of information for anyone interested in minor planets and who enjoys reading about the people and things minor planets commemorate. 606 $aAstronomy$vObservations 606 $aSolar system 606 $aPlanetary science 606 $aEnvironmental sciences 606 $aPhysics 606 $aAstronomy 606 $aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques 606 $aSpace Physics 606 $aPlanetary Science 606 $aEnvironmental Physics 606 $aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences 615 0$aAstronomy 615 0$aSolar system. 615 0$aPlanetary science. 615 0$aEnvironmental sciences. 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aAstronomy. 615 14$aAstronomy, Observations and Techniques. 615 24$aSpace Physics. 615 24$aPlanetary Science. 615 24$aEnvironmental Physics. 615 24$aAstronomy, Cosmology and Space Sciences. 676 $a523.44/03 676 $a523.4403 700 $aSchmadel$b Lutz$01803092 712 02$aInternational Astronomical Union. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910953315003321 996 $aDictionary of Minor Planet Names$94349689 997 $aUNINA
