Meanings of asteroid names (145001-146000)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As asteroid discoveries are confirmed, they are given a permanent number by the IAU's Minor Planet Center, and the discoverers can then submit names for them. The list below concerns those asteroids in the specified span of numbers that have received names, and explains the meanings of those names. Besides the Minor Planet Circulars (in which the citations are published), a key source is Lutz D. Schmadel's Dictionary of Minor Planet Names. Meanings that do not quote a reference (the "†" links) are tentative.
Asteroids not yet given a name have not been included in this list.
