"247553 Berndpauli Discovered 2002 Sept. 8 by R. Matson on NEAT images taken at Haleakala.
Bernd V. Pauli (b. 1945) is a respected meteorite aficionado and collector with keen interests in astronomy and Egyptology. Co-author of the Electronic Catalogue of Meteorites and Meteorite Craters, he has been a long-time member of the Meteoritical Society and a prolific contributor to the Meteorite Mailing List." ************************************************************************* Follow Bernd's dizzying flight among the stars in this animation.... http://sajri.astronomy.cz/asteroidgroups/hildaorb.gif (courtesy Petr Scheirich) **************************************************************************** Thanks to Rob Matson for making it so. **************************************************************************** "Hilda asteroids are asteroids with a semi-major axis between 3.7 AU and 4.2 AU, an eccentricity greater than 0.07, and an inclination less than 20°." We all know about Bernd's generous 'inclination', but we can only wonder if this revelation of his additional interest in 'Egyptology' confirms that he is traveling in a highly 'eccentric' orbit :>) Glückwunsch an meine stellaren, ich meine 'asteroidal', mein Freund!
