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.

Named for the medieval Czech astronomer, physician and theologian Wenceslaus (Václav) Fabri de Budweis (c. 1460-1518), mainly known as the author of almanacs. After a university career in Leipzig he returned to his native town, now České Budějovice, where he is considered one of the most distinguished medieval intellectual personages.
