Environmentalist Sainudeen Pattazhy, 46, who shot to fame early last month after an asteroid was named after him, is again in the limelight but for all the wrong reasons.
But, Bangalore-based astrophysicist DR R. Rajamohan, the discoveror of the asteroid 5178, revealed that he never proposed Sainudeen’s name to it. Everyone in the scientific community in India believed that Rajamohan was behind the naming as it is the privilege of the discoverer to name the minor planet.
Dr Rajamohan had discovered six asteroids nearly two decades ago through his optical telescope at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics’ Vainu Bappu Observatory in Kavalur, Tamil Nadu.
