[www.keralites.net] Now, a Planet Named After Chess Grand Master Viswanathan Anand

 

CHENNAI: Here's a question for the nerds... what do Roger Federer, Jesse Owens, Arsene Wenger, Donald Bradman and India's Viswanathan Anand have in common?

 
Well, apart from all of them being connected to some sport, they all have  minor planets named after them. The former World Chess Champion joined this unique club when a minor planet (4538), located roughly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, was named after him.

 
The newly-named minor planet, (4538 Vishyanand), was discovered by Kenzo Suzuki of Toyota, Japan, on October 10, 1988.

 
A staff members of Minor Planet Center, Michael Rudenko, was invited to name the object as it remained unnamed for more than 10 years.  "The idea of naming a minor planet for Anand was entirely my own," Rudenko told Express exclusively. "After careful consideration I selected him because in addition to being a great chess player he is also a gentlemen and astronomy enthusiast," Rudenko said.
