	Astronomical naming conventions - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Astronomers need to be able to assign systematic designations to unambiguously identify all of these objects, and at the same time give names to the most interesting objects and, where relevant, features of those objects.
		The International Astronomical Union (IAU) is the body recognized by astronomers worldwide as the naming authority for astronomical bodies.
		These names were based on a system of nomenclature developed in the late 19th century by the Italian astronomer Giovanni V. Schiaparelli (1879) and expanded in the early 20th century by Eugene M. Antoniadi (1929), a Greek-born astronomer working at Meudon, France.
