  Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth (April 4, 1892 May 6, 1979) was a German astronomer.
The initials of the minor planets 1227 through 1234, all discovered by Reinmuth, spell out "G.
In this manner Reinmuth was able to honour the man whilst honouring his wish.

 Hermes
An asteroid, discovered by the German astronomer Karl Reinmuth (1892-1979) on Oct. 28, 1937, that passed about 780,000 km from Earth.
Reinmuth tracked it for 5 days but its orbit was never established well enough for it to be located again, and the object was long considered to be lost.
However, after 66 years, on Oct. 15, 2003, Brian Skiff of the Lowell Observatory found a mystery object that proved to be Reinmuth's object.

 C&MS: 30P/Reinmuth 1
During the course of a regular photographic asteroid survey, Karl Reinmuth (Königstuhl Observatory, Heidelberg, Germany) discovered this 12th-magnitude comet on a photograph exposed on 1928 February 22.96.
Computations revealed comet Taylor should have passed close to Jupiter in 1925 and it was suspected the orbit was altered to that observed for Reinmuth's comet.
Comets Reinmuth and Taylor were not one and the same.

 30P/Reinmuth 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
During the course of a regular photographic asteroid survey, Karl Reinmuth (Heidelberg Königstuhl Observatory) discovered this 12th-magnitude comet on a photograph exposed on 1928 February 22.96.
The first orbital computation was based on an observational arc of 4 days and immediately revealed the comet was moving in an elliptical orbit; however, the orbital period was then given as 25 years.
Shortly after mid-March 1928, a new orbit for Reinmuth's comet made the link less likely and an intensive analysis of the motion of comet Taylor by George van Biesbroeck and Chang in October 1928 revealed no serious changes to the orbit of that comet.

 NASA's Solar System Exploration: Science & Technology: The Curious Tale of Asteroid Hermes
How this came to be is a curious tale, which begins in Germany just before World War II: On Oct. 28, 1937, astronomer Karl Reinmuth of Heidelberg noticed an odd streak of light in a picture he had just taken of the night sky.
About as bright as a 9th magnitude star, it was an asteroid, close to Earth and moving fast--so fast that he named it Hermes, the herald of Olympian gods.
Reinmuth first spotted Hermes approaching Earth from the direction of the asteroid belt.

 1035 Amata
Asteroid 1035, Amata, was discovered on September 29, 1924 by Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
It has a period of 5 years, 206 days and is about 37 4/5 miles in diameter.
Malcolm X, who experienced a religious epiphany during a Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca that led him to abandon his previous angry anti-white racism, had Amata conjunct the Sun (to shine, leadership), semisextile Pallas (politics), decile Mars, and square Lilith (integration, marginalization, dealing with anger) and Chaos.

Last October 28 a German astronomer, Dr. Karl Reinmuth of Heidelberg, noticed a faint white streak against the dark background of an astronomical photograph.
Such streaks reveal small, comparatively nearby objects moving across the sky at high speeds as contrasted with the relatively fixed positions of the stars.
This wanderer, christened "Object Reinmuth 1937 U. B.," appeared to be several miles in diameter.* Its orbit was calculated from the streaks.

 C&MS: 44P/Reinmuth 2
During the course of a routine photographic survey of minor planets with the 40-cm Bruce photographic telescope, Karl Reinmuth (Königstuhl Observatory, Heidelberg, Germany) discovered this comet on 1947 September 10.91.
The comet was quickly found to be a periodic comet, with Leland E. Cunningham (Student's Observatory, Berkeley, California, USA) taking positions measured through September 20 and calculating an elliptical orbit with a perihelion date of 1947 October 3.37 and an orbital period of 7.12 years.
For a brief time, this comet was thought to possibly be a return of the lost periodic comet Tuttle-Giacobini (later Tuttle-Giacobini-Kresak), but Eugene Karl Rabe proved this an impossibility during February of 1948.

 Apollo asteroid
Member of a group of asteroids whose orbits cross that of the Earth.
They are named after the first of their kind, Apollo, discovered in 1932 by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth and then lost until 1973.
Apollo asteroids are so small and faint that they are difficult to see except when close to the Earth (Apollo is about 2 km/1.2 mi across).

 Near-Earth Asteroids   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
There are two groups of near-Earth asteroids that deeply cross the Earth's orbit on an almost continuous basis.
The first of these to be discovered were the Apollo asteroids, 1862 Apollo being detected by the German astronomer Karl Wilhelm Reinmuth in 1932 but lost shortly thereafter and not rediscovered until 1978.
Apollo asteroids have semimajor axes (a) that are greater than or equal to 1 AU and perihelion distances that are less than or equal to 1.0 AU; thus, they cross the Earth's orbit when near the perihelia of their orbits.

First images of the kilometer-size asteroid were captured by a CCD camera during early morning observation through the LONEOS 24-inch Schmidt telescope.
More than six decades ago, Hermes was discovered by Karl Reinmuth at Heidelberg, Germany on October 25, 1937.
Fast forward to a few days ago when Andrea Boattini of Instituto di Astrofisica Spaziale, Rome, Italy, and Timothy Spahr of the Minor Planet Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts analyzed the new positions of Hermes and determined what it was: the long-lost asteroid.

Perhaps the most dramatic of these took place several decades ago when, on October 28, 1937, Karl Reinmuth at the Konigstuhl Observatory in Heidelberg, Germany, discovered a very fast-moving asteroid on a photograph he had just taken.
This object showed up on a handful of photographs taken elsewhere in the world -- the earliest of these being on the 25th -- and it was detected for the last time on the 29th.
Reinmuth christened the asteroid Hermes, after the fleet-footed messenger of the gods in Greek mythology.

 A NEW LEGACY FOR ANNE FRANK
Among many other places, Anne Frank has been immortalized in the sky, through her having had a main-belt asteroid named after her.
The asteroid Annefrank was originally discovered in March 1942 by -- perhaps fittingly -- a German astronomer, Karl Reinmuth, at Heidelberg, and was independently detected several additional times over the next few decades.
During the early 1990s a valid orbit -- indicating an orbital period of 3.3 years -- was computed for it, and in 1995, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the end of hostilities in Europe, the name Annefrank was officially proposed for, and given to, this object.

 Discovery of a Satellite Around Asteroid 3671 Dionysus
Most of these objects move in highly elliptical orbits that lie partly inside, partly outside that of the Earth.
They are accordingly referred to as `Earth-crossing asteroids' or Apollo-type asteroids, after the proto-type of this group, (1862) Apollo, that was discovered in 1932 by Karl Reinmuth in Heidelberg [4].
The orbital characteristics of Dionysus lead to moderately close approaches to the Earth every 13 years, with the one in 1997 being the first since its discovery that is favourable for extensive observations.

Summary - (Oct 22, 2003) Astronomers from the Lowell Observatory have re-discovered a Near Earth Asteroid that hasn't been seen since 1937.
The object is called Hermes and it was originally discovered by German astronomer Karl Reinmuth; a few days later it was out of sight, and astronomers didn't have enough information about its orbit to locate it again.
With the new observations, astronomers believe that Hermes is actually a binary object; it has its own small moon.

The 2.5-mile-wide chunk of rock is more affectionately referred to as asteroid Annefrank, discovered in 1942 by prolific German asteroid hunter Karl Reinmuth and later named in honor of the Jewish teenager, whose diary was published by her father in 1947.
This is the first collecting of extraterrestrial material since the Apollo 17 moon landing in 1972, and it is the first ever to take place beyond the Earth's moon, but the flyby of Annefrank is merely a kind of dress rehearsal for the spacecraft.
