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.

Ferdinand Runk (1764-1834) made many landscape paintings of the Czech and Austrian countryside as the court painter of the Schwarzenberg family. A beautiful circular view from the Kleť look-out tower inspired him to make watercolors of this panoramic view in 1830. The name was suggested by J. Tichá.
