J. van Houten and I. van Houten-Groeneveld on Palomar Schmidt plates taken by T. Gehrels. Rudolph Minkowski (1895-1976) was a German-born American astronomer who investigated planetary nebulae, supernovae (specifying the Types I and II) and some of the earliest-discovered radio sources. This led to the Palomar Sky Survey.
