The quantity of numbered minor planets is now approaching half a
million. Together with this Addendum, the sixth edition of the
Dictionary of Minor Planet Names, which is the IAU's official
reference for the field, now covers more than 19,000 named minor
planets. In addition to being of practical value for identification
purposes, the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names provides
authoritative information about the basis for 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 Addendum
to the 6th edition of the Dictionary of Minor Planet Names adds
approximately 2200 entries. It also contains 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.
