J. van Houten and I. van Houten-Groeneveld on Palomar Schmidt plates taken by T. Gehrels. For more than 40 years, Simon van Leverink (b. 1947) has been a well-known meteor specialist, traveling all over the world to observe meteors. He is a famous builder of observing equipment such as the Allsky network. The name was suggested by A. H. van der Brugge.
