The letter following the category and year identifies the planet (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune; although no occurrence of the other planets is expected, Mars and Mercury are disambiguated through the use of Hermes for the latter). Pluto was designated by P prior to its recategorization as a dwarf planet. When the object is found around a ...

A-type star In the Harvard spectral classification system, a class of main-sequence star having spectra dominated by Balmer absorption lines of hydrogen. Stars of spectral class A are typically blue-white or white in color, measure between 1.4 and 2.1 times the mass of the Sun, and have surface temperatures of 7,600–10,000 kelvin.
This is a list of named minor planets in an alphabetical, case-insensitive order grouped by the first letter of their name. [a] [b] New namings, typically proposed by the discoverer and approved by the Working Group for Small Bodies Nomenclature (WGSBN) of the International Astronomical Union, are published nowadays in their WGSBN Bulletin and summarized in a dedicated list several times a year.

At the time, the most remote object was quasar OQ172, at z=3.53, found in 1974. [76] From 1964 to 1997, the title of most distant object in the universe were held by a succession of quasars. [83] That list is available at list of quasars. 3C 295: 1960– z=0.461 This is a radio galaxy. This was the remotest object known at time of discovery of ...
