... Armagh Observatory, College Hill, Armagh BT61 9DG, +44 (0)28 3752 2928 . Nearly 50 years ago, Dr David Andrews , a former Astronomer at the Armagh Observatory, discovered a new minor planet or asteroid. It was discovered on the night of 25th January 1965, and the object eventually received an official number (1727) and the name "Mette" , named by the discoverer in honour of his wife, "for her tolerance of my nocturnal working hours and for the many months spent away from home". ...
