| 1991 Darwin | Discovered 1967 May 6 by C. U. Cesco and A. R. Klemola at the Yale-Columbia Southern Station, El Leoncito. |
| Named in memory of Charles Darwin (1809-1882), the English naturalist who first established the theory of organic evolution; much of his research was done in Argentina, and he crossed the Andes at a pass located some 100 km south of El Leoncito. This planet also honors his second son, George Darwin (1845-1912), the astronomer noted for his pioneering application of detailed dynamical analyses to problems of cosmogony and geology. |
