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.

Johannes Urzidil (1896-1970), a Czech-German writer, poet and journalist, was a friend of M. Brod, F. Kafka and F. Werfel. In 1939 he emigrated to the U.S. His work shows the fate of people living and working in Šumava (Boehmerwald) forests. His short story Der Trauermantel describes the early years of Adalbert Stifter.
