Searching database of minor planet names
The catalog of asteroids discovered at Klet can be searched in two ways. In the first one, pick a starting letter of asteroid's name from the listed alphabet. In the second way, start writing an expression to search (diacritics is allowed), and after at least three letters are typed, the results are automatically listed. The search can also be performed only on asteroid names, catalogue numbers, date of discovery or names of the discoverers.
Discovered by 24.02.1987 by A. Mrkos on Klet observatory
MPC 30099 (20.06.1997)
Named in memory of Danny Kaye (1913-1987, born David Daniel Kominski), actor and comedian on stage and screen. Kaye's trademark screen role was the mild mannered bumbler who triumphs in the end, as in The Court Jester (1956). Name suggested by G. V. Williams, who made the identifications involving this object.
